yeah, duh. dang corvette guys, want a new truck for used truck prices!

Carl, that ragged white truck I had for a while is pretty much the same as this one, and at this mileage & price, the interior is of no concern. the only people setting in there are going to WORK.

transmission, ball joints, control arms, steering components & wheel bearings are the big $$ culprits on trucks like this: work truck (never taken down for service), heavy duty, carrying 4 or 5 guys, load in bed, load in trailer & stopngo traffic.

in other words, this old truck has had a hard life, if you want something nice, this will never be it.

if you wanna put 4 guys in it with a little trailer & some yard tools & go cut grass, this is the truck for you.

and I will hazard a guess, but this thing probably smells AWFUL when it sits with the windows up in the summer. that one I had would almost gag you.


that little truck you have is the exception, it's a nice clean truck you could take to cactus & take on a date. but that's because it was a light duty single cab that never had 5 sweaty non-English speaking guys in it for 5 summers straight.
