Wow, sharp..... NADA shows clean retail value (which it sure looks like it qualifies for..) at 9450.00...... (for the Boston region....) Clean trade-in is right about 7K. If you can get it for around the 7K, looks to be a good deal. Gotta have a look in person first though, and drive it. Looks like he did a LOT of work to it though. Should be a nice truck.
The five speed V-8 trucks are indeed rare.

He's saying manual trans are hard to find... As opposed to autos
I got lucky and found a 5 speed. Imo its a lot more fun to drive than an auto...and its more reliable/cheaper to fix up.

I agree...
And if you're gonna get a 2500 V8, this is a pretty neat looking truck for $8k: http://boston.craigslist.org/sob/ctd/3014661728.html
Downside (for me anyways) is it's an auto trans, and the ad doesn't list mileage. But that truck is definitely my favorite looking (stock) 2ng gen 2500 V8.
