Whats the mileage?

 

I'd probably pay $1000 max for it. It likely needs lots of catch up maintenance. Brake lines, pads, rotors, cylindars, springs, drums, shoes. PCV, plugs, wires, belt, random sensors. Diffs lubed, tcase lubed, tranny fluid flush. Shocks, ball joints, tie rod ends/sleeves.

Now don't let all that scare ya from buying an older truck. Most of that can be done by a shade tree mechanic. Just keep in mind that when you buy a cheap used vehicle you usually put double the purchase price back into parts.

Personally, I'd hold out for a 92-96, as they have the magnum motors, which put out 175ish HP vs 125ish HP for the pre-mag motors. If you swap into a V8, then that's a null point but more cash.
