Good lookin puck up truck. I don't understand the crack reference? If some hard working man wants to spend his hard earned money on it then I applod him for it. To be honest mine looks way worse than that and I have more money into it over the years of trying to make horse power. I bet there are more than a few guys on here with the same story

it's a beautiful truck. I'm not sure I've seen one with that many miles on it and still looked that good. It's not a lot of miles but you know what I mean. I'd never spend 18k on it (and the reserve isn't even met lol). That truck will probably sell for more than I could get for my truck, and you can guess which one I'd rather own for the price. MINE. Some people are crazy, but then again, in the grand scheme of things I'd rather spend 20k on a truck like that that is darn near new condition than spend 70k on an actual new diesel...

i have seen 5 1st gen trucks sell for more than that in the last 3 years, i know the truck and i challenge you to find one nicer for any price, the last guy to own it never drove it (it was to nice) i would give 20k for this before i would give 30k for a 2010 with 100k, this one is way more dependable.

trucks are worth what they bring, at least to the winner.

oh i know but I was just making the comparison. What would you rather have, that truck for 20k or mine for 20k? because I'm not even sure I could get 20k for mine. Also mine is pretty much rust free, but the body and undercarriage isn't in as good shape, but still good shape overall. It's 10 years newer and has 6k in a motor that has 14 months on it with the same on the IP, and a month on a new $1800 turbo, 2 months on a new lift pump, 2 months on all new brakes. The list goes on. I bet I couldn't sell my truck for even 20k. And mine has a built auto with a fancy transmission controller too. Lift, nice tires. 2 sets of tires and wheels infact. I'd take mine if both were for sale. It wouldn't even be a discussion. And none of that is counting the cost of the conversion itself

Then again, that's just the nature of the beast I guess. Silly as it may seem to some.

This pic was taken 2 years ago but the truck looks the same. Nothing has changed.

That truck is super clean.... and if I was ultra wealthy, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Then I'd have to replace ever stinking part that was / or will go bad because it's all 20 years old....


But then again, I'd have fun doing it in my nice big heated shop, on my new lift, using my new $20K tool box full of tools...


So, if you have the cash, who cares what you pay for it, as long as it's what you want...

If that one is worth that much, imagine what mine could be worth. The first ten grand takes it.

That is a Beautiful Truck, I would buy it right now if I had the cash, I would rather pay 20k for that and have it paid for than rather put the cash towards a new one and still have to pay a note!
