I think it looks great. What's not to like? Still looks old but has that modern drivetrain. Thumbs up!

Someone has done a lot of work..... it may have been the mufflers or maybe my sound on the computer but it sounded a little like it was skipping (missing) when you took off in the parking lot....... if its running smooth I give it my thumbs up. Save yourself a LOT of work and buy it.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

Looks very nice. Someone has done a great deal of work. Personally I would have to repaint it - don't much care for RED. If you a flashy color perhaps a YELLOW with black trim.

I still haven't sold my porsche, I've had to "almost sold" guys that backed out last minute! So I still haven't purchased the truck; I'm going to go see it soon;

the asking price from the guy is 12000

I think it's reasonable

Not a bad price, I would start at around $9k and work from there.Especially in todays economy. Look for things that you are going to have to replace or fix, explain to the owner, I am going to have to do xxxx to it and replace or add this xxxx part.

Hey joker did you see this?????? Maybe you should hide this from Joker he loves red. i did notice the frame shields above the running boards are missing that should effect the price.

The engine also sounds a bit rough on my computer. Also check the cowl for breaking bondo. If that is what I saw you might want to do a good search for more. I've heard horror stories of guys buying a great looking ride only to find more bondo than steel. The 12,000 is less than you would pay to bring an old one up to that condition so that is a positive. I just have the feeling it's been covered up for a quick sale. Get the lowdown on the engine and tranny as well.

I see nothing in the videos to make me not buy it. I was more impressed with the underneath than the top! Clean, no grease, and no rust. Tells me a lot about how it's been kept. The V8 is a nice upgrade and it's a nice install. Only thing not upgraded is the front end. I think it's overpriced a bit though, but I'd buy it if you really liked it. Nice truck.

if your worryed about bondo take a magnet and tap along the areas that you think have lotts on it. The magnet will be weaker in the areas the bondo is thick. it does look like a solid truck.
