If that truck is as good as it looks, it's worth every penny of $5000. I bought one of those "Hundred dollar trucks," 7 of them in fact. I spent $400 to strip the cab, $250 to patch the cab, $300 for California Doors, $400 to paint the cab, $1500 for new tires, $2000 to machine a 235, $1000 for four rear wheel bearings, $265 for 4 rear brake cylinders, $400 to rebuild the bed, $150 for a wiring harness, $400 for a windshied. $200 for a drive shaft ajustment. $600 in misc stuff. $500 for a HydroVac. Plus a lot, lot more and I still have a truck that is not on the road and it's only been 6 years. Think about this, If you buy the hundred dollar truck to save some money, you won't. I know, I did.
