Nice looking truck. Kinda high mileage, but if it was maintained, should be good. What do you want to do with it? How do you plan to use it?

4700 isnt bad for 155,00. it looks clean from pics. Hell mine had 89,000 on it when I bought it for 7,200. I have found these trucks hold their value pretty well if in decent shape

I got my 95 for only 1K, i was so happy. But then i had to change the timing chain, 3 sensors, and a oil change but still a good deal. Anyways enough about me..

When ever i get a new car, i change the plugs, oil ect mantanice stuff just so i have a solid starting point for records. That is unless the guy tells me for sure that it was tuned up recently.
