Is it worth it???

Is this truck worth $9k??? I think it is...i'm just wondering. I've been looking at trucks. At least this has a 5spd.

I would think so, if it's as clean as it looks. Duallies seem to be rarer and more money around here.

Yeah...some are pretty high priced. Although I have absolutely no use for a dually other than the cool looks

I saw a close up today and it was clean. Now I just need $10k. lol

He's a little high in his price, in my opinion. My brother just bought a '97, 4wd, 5spd, 3500, with zero rust on it for 7K. All it needed was a paint job.

No offense, but paint jobs are expensive and very time consuming. Trust me, I know...

I took two pics. I'm thinking he would take 8500.

If not I can wait

If it was a 2WD I'd be on my way to Albany to look at it. I wouldn't sell mine for $9k, and it needs a paint job.

Thats what I meant. I was talking about the 97 not the 99.

I was saying it would be better to choose the 97 over the 99.

That's a nice truck. That description on your truck was hard for me to find. I bought my 97 3500 4x4 5spd 12v CC about 6 years ago on ebay from Texas for $14K with 120kmiles and had it shipped to me for $700. Lotsa trucks in Texas. It now has 244k miles and stiill runs great.

The only think I don't like about my dually is paying for 6 tires at a time...ouch. It would be nice to get a 1ton non-dually 12v LB but I don't know if there was one in them years and if there was it would be hard to find.
