Thats a good looking truck. It would be really sharp looking if you took the XL grille out and put in a nice chrome one. Best of all its rust free.

Ga has no problems with Rust.
I thought it would make a good truck for someone.
Maybe me.LOL
If I could buy it outright in 10k to 12k range I would consider it.

That is what the 18 year old guy I was arguing with should be buying it can pull some weight and it can carry employees.

There is no such thing as a rust free used truck in that year when you live in a rust belt.

[LindblomRJ]

That looks like a good truck.

[dura to the max]

i would actually check it thoroughly for rust. most GA trucks dont have the block heater on them, meaning it could be from up north and have band aides over the rust. just my opinion...

[Gravel Rat]

I see trucks from california or Texas or southern US and it almost has the factory paint on the frame.

Doing body work and repairing rust is the most expensive part about buying a used truck.

Many Ga trucks have Block heaters.
It came in several different packages that where common for the dealer to order.

Doesn't look bad and I didn't think the price was bad either. That is a truck for Picasso.

My truck has a block heater and the 1st owner bought it down here in the next county over.

[Gravel Rat]

Just because it has a block heater doesn't mean its from a state that has snow or cold weather. My 03 has a block heater and I never use it.

Look at trucks say from New York state where they use lots of salt or trucks from like Montreal now your looking at rust buckets.

Here on the West Coast we have salt air rust I think its like that all along the coast till northern California. The salt air from the ocean rusts vehicals.

Looks pretty good but it is going to need tires right off the bat, they are slicks.

[Gravel Rat]

Never noticed yep the tires are a little bald :laugh:

So you factor in 2000 grand for tires going at 250 dollars a tire which is the going rate for 225/19.5 rubber.

In the southern states you can get away with running a straight rib tire on all corners rib tires are a little cheaper than buying traction tires.
