price this truck

Nice find! That is a clean truck and those style of beds are actually hard to find when your looking for one. Its hard to pull a gooseneck with a service truck! That hole is most likley for a Bottle to sit in so its not sticking above the cab. Welding bottle or a cutting torch bottle. Its worth as much as your need for it is. A lot of peolpe try to find a $2500 truck and end up putting $8000 into it and still dont have that nice of a truck with what it has.

truck was a no go. he went and test drove it, ran like ####. couldnt get above 60 mph in 4th gear. if it ran good, the price wouldnt of been bad, they wanted $5800 firm for it

well he went and drove it again. runs awesome when warmed up, but has alot of blowby for 120k miles. enough its pushing it out the dipstick tube with the dipstick in. what do yall think?

Don't forget, if it's a service truck it may have sat and idled for long periods of time and that wear wouldn't be reflected on the odometer. Might explain the seemily excessive wear.

i know what the blow by is. i meant why it run like crap cold and ran perfect warm

EBV having issues when the engine is cold?

How about the rings being worn. Give s it low compression and untill they get slathered with oil, it runs like crap
