Thad, welcome to the Stovebolt Page. Best site on the world wide web for sure.
Sounds like your truck is an original species! There is a "Vin Buster" her on the bolt. I think its in the tech tip section. Find it and it'll decipher your vin for you...and if no luck as the guys in the General truck forum or the paint and body forum.

Prices vary a little due to location. Does the truck run? If it runs 1000 isn't a bad price in my neck of the woods and if you can get it lower then there is more to spend on parts. When all said and done it depends on how deep your pockets are and just what you want to do to it. Bed condition is not an issue if you ply your trade and go stake bed. Most bolters will simply say to buy the best condition truck you can find/afford.
The glass is all "flat" glass so no outrageous prices there. If you really want a 3/4 or 1 ton then may you should pass on this one....and it may get the owner of the 1/2 to be more relenting in his price!!

You'll find plenty of help, and great folks here willing to share their knowledge. Just be sure to post the questions in the most appropriate forums.
Good luck. We're here to help. Let us know what you need. Don't forget the Swap Meet for parts wanted to buy or sale.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
