Yea, I agree, buy it if you are interested. Just from the one pic. it looks good. It's the sheetmetal thats expensive on these trucks, the mechanicals are still pretty reasonable, except the engine rebuilds. Did mine two years ago. Parts and machine work ran $2000 (new pistons, turned crank, bored cyl.'s, new valves, seats, lifters, shotpeaned rods, balanced rotating assembly; Alaska prices). If you can fix the engine without a total rebuild, you should. The expensive parts are pistons, mostly, and machine work.

Good luck!
