2.)The chevy im buying is a 98 4x4 ext cab vortec 350 for $100.00

3.)Its actually a fairly nice truck with a/c and what not

For a 100 bucks and it runs, it doesn't matter what make it is. Two doorhandles on a 98 chevy are worth more than 100 bucks!

I've owned a couple of chevys and I think they were all worth 100 bucks ......and from my experience, you'll need to replace the door handles cause their pot-metal castings are junk.
