If you were in the Portland area then you could see if City Towing is still in business and have them take a look see at any truck you may want to buy. I tried to find some of the mechanics I use to know in the PDX area who worked for Cummins NW and Frightliner but thay have moved on.

Good Luck.

The red one is only a 2wd with almost 200K on it and the guy wants 5800 right? The second one is a BADD AZZ 1st gen that looks well taken care of, also has almost 200K on it, and is also going for around 5800. ( I LOVE the push button heater control buttons ... )



Tuff call ...

My heart goes with the 1st gen because it's just so BADD looking and I'll bet it's better taken care of. Offer him five grand if it checks out OK and see if he goes for it.

If I were to choose, it'd be the first gen.

I am pretty sure this is a great deal, what do you think? It is easier to get a car loan than to come up with $5000 cash, so I am pretty sure I am getting this............now I am excited!!! Here it is.......http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...amp;cardist=70

I like the dually. Your young, you need to get training wheels, plus we could always use another dually on the site

I like how the window sticker says 5950 but the description says 4950. Wait a week and you might score it for 3 grand !!

it looks like an old man truck that was probably used to drive to town and back for most of its life

Yeah, I am glad that it is a 4x4. I really do need one for hunting, or I could use my brothers 75 chevy 3/4 ton truck. Not good gas milage though. Jakebrake, you are the main reason why I have wanted a diesel, I love your truck, and that inspired me to find one like yours, I did, but it was sold. I wish I had the cash to buy it, but I don't. So, financing is a little bit easier. Notice how he says taking offers or something like that, so I am going to offer him less. I think that was pretty funny too. It does look like an old mans truck, hopefully it does not have an old man smell either. Thanks for all your help. I am going to look at it tomorrow, and is there anythingI should look for or to ask the guy or to check for that you haven't mentioned before?

Speaking of duallys I thought the fenders were fiberglass but mine are metal. What are yours Jake?
