That said, I usually dismiss any amount of money stated that someone says they have invested in their ride. You have no idea what they spent it on and how they interpret spending or investing in the first place. ie: their labor? chrome plated bolts? $2500 sound system? $650 aftermarket steering wheel...who knows.
I also agree about the dubious 34000 mile angle.....not so sure about that....so unless there is a true easy to read, easy to follow paper and history trail, dismiss that as correct.
Back to the point....it looks like a pretty reasonable truck for $4000, well worth looking at.
Good luck and keep us posted!

Agreed wholeheartedly on all points. Everybody puts way more into an old truck than they'll get back out of it. Hell, that "$8000" may include $2000 for shipping for all I know. I'm just looking at it as a clean truck (hopefully) with little to no rust repair needed (again, hopefully). I don't really care if it has 35k, 135k, or even 235k if it's a solid , reliable truck. For $4000, you really can't ask for much more than that in this neck of the woods from what I've found so far. I looked at a $3500 72 lwb c10 in Bowling Green a couple days ago (on one of those shady 'buy here / pay here' used car lots) that looked really slick from ten feet, but it had so much rust that had been hidden and covered up with metal tape and spray paint that there's no way I'd want to buy it. If this one doesn't have rust, but has had decent repairs done, that's fine too. That much less for me to have to mess with! It wouldn't be that crazy rare low-mile find, but in the end that doesn't really mean much more than having a couple more "cool" points as far as I'm concerned. If I did buy it, I'd do a power steering and brake upgrade and enjoy it while I own it, and find a good home that would appreciate it if I ever parted with it.
