    That’s probably where you’re gonna find a rust free truck

    So I found a different truck,
    12 of '00, washington state title says '01
    204k, v6 5spd xtracab, it has 33/12.5 bff all terrains and aftermarket alloy wheels Paid 5k with a temp plate.
    Needs a carrier bearing and at least upper ball joints.
    Quick look while rotateing tires I noticed the passenger side wheel binding...
    It pulled a little while breaking but seemed to track ok, now that I swapped the tires it pulls a bit to the right all the time...
    Recommendations on where to start with the binding?
    Have not noticed and noises while driving, just when I had the wheel off it, by grabbing the rotor I could only rotate about 2\3 revolution...
    Feel free to post any links, I have trouble finding what I need thru the search

    And my phone went swimming, still swapping stuff over so no pics yet.
    It's green and clean minus some dings and scratches

    Welcome to TW. I don't think that the truck is worth 1500. You can also post a poll if you want to crowdsource some more opinions.

    Thanks, I ended up with an 01 xtracab 4x4 v6 5spd. Just over 200k. Has 33/12.5 tires that rub, so gonna be downsizing on those, to much fuel. Seems to need upper ball joints and carrier bearing, has a slight binding in pass front wheel that I need to sort as well
