OK, had to make sure we had a deal before I posted here. I'm offshore until the 9th so my brother went over to look at this truck, struck a deal and gave the seller a deposit. '96 with 220k miles, 4x4, manual trans, cool flatbed, new batteries AND the original bed and tailgate. $10 large. My brother told the seller that if I didn't like it I could always sell it. He said, yeah for sure and if I wanted a list of craigslist callers, he had one long as your arm. Looking forward to picking it up! Not sure what I'll do with Blort the Blue Moose (D250 auto) yet, but its got less than 120k miles on it....

 

Nice, clean looking truck.
You will like the 215 HP P-pumped motor in that truck, along with that NV-4500.
Good job!

 

Thanks Oliver. This next 10 days is gonna seem like a year. Can't wait to get it back to the house.

 

My dad has a 96 4x4 5 spd reg cab. Great truck! He's only got about 130k on it though. Never had a single problem with it. You're going to love that truck.
Where you at offshore? I work offshore also.

 

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

She's a beaut ( other than that hideous bed..... ) and yea, you can sell her in a heartbeat for more than 10K.........

 

Looks like a great deal to me!
