you should be able to find plenty of trucks for that price, but are they really worth that price, and I mean that strictly from the body and paint perspective, and we assume the mechanics are sound

you are at that price point where you will be paying for a flip or a truck painted with lies, ha ha, I prefer an old paint truck because nothing has been hidden, I don't mean to scare you at all, but know the critical points to check for rust

1. battery box area, the battery tray may have been replaced but...

2. radiator core support right below battery tray, good cores are impossible to find, most require welding repair

3. the front of the passenger side inner fender again below the battery tray

4. floor boards, ask to remove the floor mats, and if possible lift up the carpet and peak underneath

5. the bed has it been covered up with something? look around where the gas filler tube is on the inside of the bed, and around the inside wheel wells

6. how badly bowed is the tailgate, ha ha, or how many pounds of bondo are making it appear straight

7. rear cab corners of course

just trying to help,
