i agree that for $1000 it might not be bad, but i'm alway iffy about buying someone else's problem lol. it's hard to know just how much is wrong with it.

Look how cinched the bed looks. He says the frame is okay but I doubt it is at all.

ha the frame looks bent! that would be a issue, even if it was a slight bend, it could give ya a lot of trouble! just my two cents, the drive train would have to be really good to buy this, and the front axle and cab is savable and so is the front clip, ya would to really look it over, and do some measuring! this guy has a better chance parting it out.

I bet the drive shaft was pushed in to the trans and broke or cracked the trans housing maybe even bent some of the shafts in side the trans.

thats how you turn a good day into a bad one.for a grand it would be worth it to scrap it if the frame was bent beyond fixing.but it probably isn't that bad,its sitting on a bad angle like that and makes it probably look worse.

it would be best to buy it under the assumtion it would be a parts donor truck. then part it out .and build up another truck from the parts salvaged. its worth a grand,but not as a driver.just salvage.

I'd buy it but talk him down to 700 or 800 bucks cause all it's good for is parts.
