If you weren't in Mesa, that AC might not matter very much. But since you are in Mesa... I think I'd want the seller to knock off $1k for it. It might be a simple fix, but with AC, nothing is ever simple. Or cheap.

Also: I don't think I'd want to own one of these trucks without power steering, and that brake proportioning valve has some odd looking plumbing. Did the PO put disc brakes on it?

It's a nice looking truck. For me, I think I'd wait for one with power steering, but I am old and have weak girly-man arms.
