You really can not beat that price, good find.

The pic that would worry me would be the corner of the cab, and I would check the rockers too.

Man , those pictures bring back some memories

lowriden58 · 01-12-2009, 07:33 PM

i agree good price. also check above the windshield inside the cab for rust

zac redding · 01-12-2009, 07:37 PM

i didnt look there, but thanks for the info... wat all are the places for rust on these? dont know much about these trucks... thanks again

lowriden58 · 01-12-2009, 07:50 PM

above windshield, rockers,cab corners, cab floor,cab supports,bed floor/sills(braces), core support usually at the bottom under the battery. those are usually the places. if there is rust above the windshield you might be better off looking elsewhere unless you got a welder or have time and $$ for another cab.

$650 is a great price. As mentioned the upper windshield where it meets the roof would be one of the most criticle areas where rust would concern me.

zac redding · 01-12-2009, 08:09 PM

Yeah good start for the money, swapping to a 1/2 suspension isn't that bad. or hard just have to have plenty of elbow grease.
