It doesn't look like a bad truck for the money, and it's not a big deal to need the registration renewed. Most states require you to re-register a vehicle in your name when you buy it anyway. Is this your first time buying a truck?

And thats exactly why I didn't post a reply earlier. If you can't spell out a cohesive sentence so it is a little easier for us to try to understand then it's not worth responding to.

Case in point, what exactly were you trying to say here?

If it's stock, do you guys think that it would pass? I don't have experience with smog equipment. I have always had diesels.

that would be my best guess.

Can I try and break this down?
A California truck (Where I'm located) and then you want to find a classic truck,so you don't have to jump through hoops to find parts?
Its really not hard to find parts for these trucks,you just have to be patient and look.
My truck needs so many parts,I just haven't had a chance to get them.. But,they are available.
Also,you should change your signature to say "Friends" not "Freinds"

Joe,

That truck has been for sale for a long time. There are numerous reasons for this. The fact that is not registered most likely means it won't currently pass smog. This will cost you big time as the Ca. DMV back fee's are steep for expired registration where the vehicle owner did not do a non-op.

Do yourself a favor and call the number in the add and have them give you the license plate number. Then call the DMV and ask them if there are any back fee's due for that vehicle. If there are back fees due, they could add up to two or three times the asking price of that beat up old truck. I always do this when buying a used vehicle, whether the tags are current or not.

Remember, in California, if you buy a vehicle with expired registration the back fees are on you, not the guy who let them expire.
