That is a solid looking truck for $9K. I paid $6K for my 54 but it needed a lot more sheet metal work than this truck appears to need. I have a spreadsheet that I track everything I spend on the truck. So far, including the original purchase price I am at about $12,500 invested. This does not include the hours of my labor. I don't think you over paid. Part of the price is driven by the area of the country you are in. East of the Mississippi that is a pretty good price. West, you might do better on the price.
