Looks workable, with some love and wrenching. For $3000 you can't mess up too bad.

Captain:Interior is good, just has the normal little rips in the seat, I will most likely be gettin a seat cover if i get it. But the pass side fender is a little crinkled. It somes with a new fender though.
Dezzrats:Yep! Thats what i was thinkin.

RedRocket: Huh, i actually didn't. Why is it going to take at least 2500? Other than the tranny the fenders messed up but i am going to leave that for a while. My father is a certified diesel mechanic whos been doin this for 30 years so it wont be to difficult to put the tranny back in. As for death wobble how do you know it will have it?

To me that is a good price, however the price doesn't bother me as much as the condition of the truck. I personally would keep on looking. There are better deals to be had out there. Just my thoughts.
