That kind of truck around here last year sold for around 11k now maybe 9K at best with that many miles and his insuraty about the the original motor (which it probably is) and the nessasary repairs to the front end I say 5k-7500 at very best but it want to look at it first for that much. The missing parts of the tailgate and the rear fender damage dont add to the value either or the damge to the inside of the rt frt door. I also dont like to see pics where they say everythings good and in the pic there is some sort of connector hanging out from under the dash behind the cb that isnt part of the cb. The driver seat damage is a nice touch too. That motors never been cleaned and still has the factory DP and intake. concidering all that and assuming the trucks been in texas its whole life and thus no rust and assuming your aware of these details and are willing to fix or deal with them Id say offer 4k to start and go as high as 7500 depending on how bad you want it. Id probably try to stay around 5k though.

Expect to get nickel and dimed to death on that one. I wouldn't pay over $4k for it with the body damage, trashed seat, and other issues it has. Not a bad truck, but I'd keep looking unless you are dead set on it. That electrical gizmo on the carpet throws a big red flag for me- tells me someone's been monkeying around with the wiring and they probably don't know what they are doing.

Thanks for the input thus far guys. My heart won't be broken if I don't get that truck. I've been looking for a while and it's just been a little difficult to find one like that close to me a cheap enough for me to buy. I'm a little picky and I want the nicer power mirrors and roof lights. And all the trucks I keep finding are like 12,000$ and 2,000 miles away from me. I'll keep an eye on it. If I can snag it for 4,000$ or so I'll try and grab it if not. Then I'll just keep searching

5 or 6 k is a bit high oversize.
400k miles puts it in the 2-4k catagory.
missing u-joint and cosmetically not 100%, thats why.
I'm sure i could find 5 to 10 other things wrong with it in person.
2500 is a good price IMO for that truck.
I grabed mine for 4500. which was just less then blue book value.
And, supprised to me, I got it off craigslist.
