What do you guys think about this truck?

I don't really want the auto but the price is pretty good, I have not drove it yet.

check the afc housing to see if the fuel was turned up on it. i doubt it was. looks like a nice truck to me! you can build a stout auto for around 2 grand with someone that knows what they are doing.

I really don't want to dish out 2 grand right off the bat on the tranny on this truck, I just want it to last for a while. I'm not going to be running high horsepower on it so I don't really need a bullet proff transmission just want it to last while under normal driving.

normal driving on stock power is fine. but a fuel plate is so easy and FREE but you didnt hear it from me. maybe do a 3k gsk for drivability and top end and leave the plate alone. shouldnt put any more strain on your tranny since it builds more line pressure and such with the more rpms you turn.

Thats a 94/95? Even with the low miles, $15,000 is high to me. Of course, you can justify anything, if you want it bad enough. Nice looking truck especially for the age.

heck no, that is almost a twin to my Greenie, she has 142K miles and if someone came along with 11K she would be gone so fast it would make your head spin..............And Brownie would have a new Goerend tranny in her.

That truck is worth closer to 10
