My Guess..
My guess, and this is only a guess, is the owner either can't or won't deal with it either, for whatever reason. Even doing it yourself, just the parts for the rear is probably going run up to well over a grand, maybe more depending what it needs. Throw in a set of tires, whatnot and if your paying labor it could easily be approaching $4-5k to get it properly set up for the road.
But definitely worth it, for somebody wanting that type truck, methinks....

with a spool the tires cant rotate at different speeds. so everytime you turn the truck you are destroying the tires and beating the hell out of the drive line. likethey said above if you drivethis truck and it has a spool you will know it whe nyou turn. because it wont want to and will squall the tires like crazy. that truck is worth way morethan he is asking for it if its in good shape. spool or not jacked up gears or not its worth the investment. i was offered $18000 for my 95 just a few months ago. clean trucks are worth money.
Go back and drive it. Put one wheel off the pavement into some grass and mash the gas!
If that wheel spins you're in good shape........MAYBE.......but a good posi or locker will do the same thing so.........
THEN, take it around a corner and turn the steering wheel ALL the way till it stps. If the rear end doesn't hop on you he doesn't know what a spool is and it's not there!
