Now that I think of it. It didn't move... I did that at the stop light. Clutch to the floor, In gear and it stayed put.

 

good sign. how many miles are on the truck? what year?

 

It's a 2000 with 144k miles. Crew cab long bed but the bed has some damage...

 

eeesh! i guess so. but that's not to bad for the year and miles. does it or has it had a goose neck hitch in it?

 

It does have a gooseneck hitch in the back.

The miles and year is what has me. and the price...

I would rather have an auto but that's cuz I like to pin the accelerator and go...

 

does it look like it's seen alot of use? i can relate to that. Lol when i got my 99 it had 138,140 on it. the price was pretty close to book value but for as clean as it was i just couldn't pass it up. and you can still do it with the manual. just run thru the gears fast.

 

I wouldn't say a lot of use. He has put about 80k on it in the 6/7 years he's owned it. He said he has towed a gooseneck with about 4k lbs of hay once in a while.

It's been used but doesn't look like it was put away wet. Just introduced it to a light pole at some point.

And I don't run through the gears fast. I drive a manual transmission every once in a while but I will be the first to admit, I'm not a professional.

 

well that's good. and with the light pole.... **** happens. if you're going to run thru the gears fast, hold the clutch in for aout 2 seconds longer when you hit 3rd. the ZF trannies don't like 3rd. the 5 or 6 speed.

 

Good to know. Ya, the body damage is what it is. The truck still drives down the road straight. If I get it, Just means I need to keep my eye out for a bed.

 

yeah beds can be hard to find in good condition, then the seller generally thinks it's better than gold. if they let you get the front end off the ground and put a bar under the tire, to see if the ball joints have any play in them.
