I paid 3500 for mine 1 year ago april. (im making payments cause I financed it)

I was immediatly offered 5K after the original bigger exhaust (approx 1 week after purchase) and wouldnt do it!
I might have a 1k into it so far.

I love window stickers and build sheets n stuff, im into restorations, to mee if ya got all that, thats worth an extra 500 to thousand bucks more, then w/o any of them!

I paid 11K for mine with 97K miles on it in 2003. I know its a bit pricey but I buy mileage when I get a vehicle and I figure I should get at least another 100K before I have to do much more than upgrades and regular maintainance. Also it was a west coast truck with no rust and best I can tell it has all original paint except one fender

Paid $8500 for mine in 2000. Had 75,000 miles, all service records, one senior owner, and WAS bone stock. Besides a couple very small dings, and the paint fading on the roof, it was perfect. I thought it was a good deal at the time, and I still do.

I paid $1500 for mine with the tranny laying in the bed. I tow dollied it 2 hours home at 35mph because it swayed going any faster than that. We had to put it on backwards because it wouldn't fit on forward due to the hubs. I guess the u-haul guy was right after all! Anyway about $5000 in parts and I have what I have now...a rot box that runs like new.

I bought mine for $6800 tow months ago, it has 44000 on it right now. I have replaced a few parts to get it tip top but mainly just wear and tear items. Now from all the sitting it did I need to get it painted then it will look better.

My dad paid $10,000 for a stock '93 ext cab long bed with 50,000 miles on it. Bought it from his dad's estate when he passed away. i'd say it was a good deal, even when the fuel pump went out a month later, cause it sat for most of its life.

I paid 5300 2 1/2 years ago, not much work has been done to it and it runs like a champ. I probably could have gotten it cheaper but I knew the guy (Original owner) and it came with all service records and every receipt and original window sticker. I even have the key ring that says what truck and whose from the dealership when the keys were handed over, this baby has everything. Not bad for being the second owner
