Re: truck on Seattle Craigslist.......

OK guys. Let's start over in a positive frame of mind.
As for price, he may have cruised CL, found a lot of hacked-up crappy trucks
selling for well over 2 grand and thought he may start there.

I like it and ya never know...it may or may not have a bunch of rust.
For that matter, who here should care considering the majority of our project
trucks end up with new bodies by the end of the restoration journey.

After 15 years, that's really not a lot of exterior dirt & moss for this region
(trucks rot from the top down here and frames are generally nice.
As for the engine, there's always the chance that the mileage is right and
with fresh fuel, battery, oil and TLC, that may be fine as well.

I see the interior is quite clean, the body panels appear nice and straight,
and, as the poster says, she's quite complete plus we see a lot of cool
vintage add-ons including the canopy.

All that said, when parked, it was obviously a very nice truck and has the
added advantage of having not spent it's life in the rust belt. Many, many
trucks that look like this can present a pleasant surprise.

My 2¢

And, yes, maybe I'll just go look at it just for the ducks of it!
