Your thoughts on a truck

[i82much]

Hi all,

I am in the market for an older truck to use as a hunting rig. I found the attached on craigslist from a drier area of the country, the guy is asking 3500 and says the truck runs fine, 4x4 works, says it needs tires, wanders on the highway, and the blinker doesn't work.

Can I just get some initial impressions from you on this truck, just the first sort of thoughts that pop into your heads when you look at this guy? I know there is no substitute for seeing the truck in person. I am pretty good with old cars (have a 65 GTO) but I don't specifically know much about these old trucks. One big concern I have is parts availability - you can practically build a classic GTO from aftermarket parts these days. I don't have any plans for modifications, if it functions more or less as original I am fine with the likely exception of adding a dual-stage master cylinder for safety reasons and possibly disc brakes.

I guess my main question is this - if I buy this thing, are chances pretty good I'll get my $3500 back if I just decide to bail?

Thanks all.
