If the braces, inner rockers and cab corners are solid the rest of the cab is probably acceptable.

The AC compressor is missing. If AC is important to you, getting the AC working can be an expensive proposition if you have a shop do it.

The price doesn't look out of line, and he says he will negotiate.

What ever you decide, keep in mind, you will probably spend half the purchase price again before you are satisfied. I have never bought one that I didn't immediately start spending money on.

A similar truck sold here in the spring for $8,500. I talked to the new owner, and he said he has spent over $5,000 and hasn't started on the AC yet.
Thanks for the reply! AC isn't super important here in the northwest, most houses don't even have AC. Maybe eventually I will get there, but I'm sure I will spend money elsewhere first.

I am prepared to spend some money on it going forward, but would mainly like it to get me the 6 miles to and from work every day while I make improvements.

Thanks again!
