Re: Is this truck worth the money?

I'm going to go against the grain of the other responses. This looks like a nice truck, but as others have said, the bondo on the rockers is a concern.

Here is a bigger concern.....You said it has a "freshly rebuilt 327". Where exactly is this engine? Because it ISN'T in the engine bay. That engine is dirty and hasn't been out of the truck in quite some time. I would push him on this and see if he has more history on the rebuild. Receipts would really tell the full story. My feelings are that he may be pulling your leg on that part.

Also, I see that the master cylinder is missing. That would lead me to question the rest of the braking system. Parts are pretty cheap if you're doing that work yourself, but costs will add up if you're going to send it to a shop.

None of this stuff is a deal breaker in my opinion, but it does put his price on the top shelf for what the truck is. Hopefully others will chime in as well, I'm curious to hear more opinions on it.
