I'm in the market for a larger pickup, having an S-10. I've been looking for over a month and think I have found a nice one.
166,000 miles, tight, clean, stock. No rips in seat, no major body defects, doors don't drop when you open them, appears to be garaged. One owner, seems like an honest guy. Will need tires soon, priced 6 plys today, 4 @ $700.Owner says he loaned the truck to a nephew for almost 2 years, and the nephew had to put a transmission in it @
120,000. He also says he replaced the heater core for some reason. I know he was honest about that, because when I was underneath it, I found a page out of a repair manual stuffed near the shock having to do with this. He says no other major repairs.Anyway, I was just looking for advice on purchasing this year, from you pros. Anything I might should know about the particular year and model. My dad had an 88 half ton, I think it was a 350, but it seemed to have a lot more zip than this truck. It was also a 2x though too...maybe lighter?
Thanks for any info, thanks for reading.
