looks to be in good shape body wise, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. you would want someone who really knows these trucks in and out to go a physically check it out. but if it is as mechanically sound as the body looks then i would say that a good deal would be anywhere from 5500-6000 bucks

Doing a quick search on Canada trader, that would be at the low end of the price range. Other than the mirrors, its a good looking truck. Just need to talk the wife into it. Good luck!
