Re: Is this truck worth the money?

I'd have to lean towards saying the guy is right in the ball park on his price. Rockers with bondo don't bother me if the rest of the cab is decent.. The truck has an overall nice look to it which tells me it hasn't been overly abused thru the yrs. Like someone else mentioned, the MotorCraft oil filter doesn't bother me in the least. Its a hell of a lot better than a lot of other filters on the market these days. If you can, remove the oil cap on the valve cover and have a peek in there with a flash light. If its nice and clean it doesn't guarantee you that its been rebuilt but it is a good indication the engine has been maintained. Without receipts there is really no way to tell if its been rebuilt but if it doesn't leak oil or smoke when you start it, no ticks or knocks and seems to run strong then that is usually good enough for me.. If I bought that truck I'd fix the mechanicals and the rockers and run it as is.
