Re: i have fallen in love with a craigslist find

Im with the rest of these guys take the gamble... Take your trailer, a buddy, and cash in hand and talk him down... But take a wrench and see if the motor will turn freely maybe something, maybe not, but it will be a memorable weekend for sure!

If they cant get cattle in with their horse they go get the pickup and push them in.
I guess that's my point - if it's exactly what you want, then go for it. Mine had the original paint and I could see that the body was very straight, and it was exactly what I was looking for. If its what you want and the body is good, I say go for it - you will end up spending a ton of money on it anyways. My gues is on the wheels that he either got'em cheap at a garage sale, or had them lying around and is trying to boost the cost of the truck and get rid of something he didn't want anyways. I will say that if I were to get another one, one that has the original paint would be the way to go. Bodywork is the most expensive thing you can do.

Let me know. I have lived here (Brookings) for almost all my life, 30+ years. My dad is from DeSmet, they have a cabin on Thompson so I have been to Oldham a few times to grab dinner. I haven't seen much of the town, just the corner bar.

Re: i have fallen in love with a craigslist find

I think buying a truck should be the way it is when you decide you've found the right girl.

There's little "Oh, Boy!" factor in this one. I'd never make a case for NOT taking a road trip. But, just don't make this truck yours before you
get the warm and fuzzies.

Right now, my money would be on, "that's somebody else's problem." And, I've found that a transaction with a seller that has the B.S. lines...
...like the one about how many people are wanting his crap... usually ends up in a transaction that sucks. If for no other reason that there's little satisfaction
in dealing with an a$$%@le... for any reason. Regardless of the deal. Not saying this guy is one. But it sure didn't start out smelling like roses, did it?

And, Bro...you have the little woman's nod. Use is on a deal that makes EVERYBODY in the deal happy.

Having said that, if you go, enjoy the road trip. If you go AND buy the truck, best of luck and enjoy it, too.

I'd stay home and look for a truck that's being sold by one of us....
