I am not impressed with that truck at all. It’s not the style that would kill it for me. Looking at the engine compartment, I am not impressed with the engine installation. It leaves a lot to be desired in terms of quality of work. That engine most likely over heats with no fan shroud and fan type. I know I fought that problem for quite awhile in my Carryall which is basically the same with a 327 Chevy engine. The radiator is leaking based on the stain on it in the picture. The firewall insulation is a fire hazard. If the clutch and break master are mounted with out a plate and bracing, the firewall will not last long because of flex when braking pressure.
I could go on but will not. If you are considering that truck you need to have everything that the previous owner modified inspected. I would not trust his work based on what I can see. You got to ask yourself, with the price of PWs these days why is it priced so low. The dealer is going to take a good cut of the price.
Additionally, why would someone put a 3 speed manual transmission in it? Enough said. Buyer beware.
