    These pictures are from when I bought it a year ago.

    165k miles. Auto Trans. Tires 6 mo. old. New injectors. New TPS and IAC Valve. Replaced rotor, cap, wires and plugs. Compression test = 167 to 175 lb. Pioneer stereo installed with Blue Tooth. Replaced fuel filter. Replaced brake pads and flushed system. Replaced Trans. fluid and filter. Replaced gear oil in differential. Added wheel covers. A/C and heat work fine. Also new headlight on driver's side. This thing runs like a scalded dog!

    Has rust on top of fender well and had a place where the frame rusted through; I patched it myself. Has small oil leak on valve cover near the distributor. Needs rear bumper.

    What should I ask for this thing?

    Idk, but good luck. I'd be wary of buying a truck from somebody who put a lot of work into it and was selling so soon. I'd assume they encountered a problem was was too big.

    It looks like you got it for $1000. I'd say that, that you bought it to fix up and make a profit, list the things you've done and how well it drives, offer to take it to a mechanic if they want, then say how much you've spent on new parts and how much you want to profit.

    Or just ask $3-4k or whatever and park it somewhere.

    It was my go to work truck, I invested in it, but I have to sell it; not because I want to. Thanks for the reply.

    What ever the local market is.

    To high it will just sit .

    You can maybe have some wiggle room but know your rock bottom price you need to have
