I wouldn’t sweat too much about posting it, we "Bolters" need something to critique to make us feel better about how much money and sweat we’ve invested in our own trucks!

Honestly, if it’s truly a running and stopping truck, the asking price is really not that unreasonable. I paid a lot more for a non-running truck that had a rebuilt motor (complete with receipts from a supposable reputable machine shop), only to turn around and have to rebuild anyway. And the body on mine looked pretty good until I started peeling back the layers of paint and truly saw the extent of rusted-out panels underneath.

The reality is that a lot of the members on this site are in our senior years, and we tend to get major sticker shock compared to what we were able to buy these trucks for just a few years ago. The prices of these trucks have skyrocketed recently.

That being said, there is still a lot of bodywork and no doubt mechanical work needed on that truck, which is not unlike most of the projects that belong to the members on this site.

Just my two cents!
