Well, pretty much nothing on there that doesn't need to be touched. In today's stupid market, someone would pay 12 grand for that at auction, but it's just a $2500 truck to me. Max.
Reason is that is that there are still deals out there where you can pay from $500 to $1500 for a runner (with rust issues, but workable) and yet there are those out there that would jump all over themselves to buy that one for $7500 or more.
But nothing on that one doesn't need to be addressed. The rear axle pinion angle is completely wrong, the driver's side rear spring looks like there's a gap between it and the lift block (not a great idea anyway, but not a deal breaker) unless that's an improperly used shim and I just can't see it.
The engine is of unkown running character.
Some of the sheet metal is hacked for the front dual shocks. And those shocks look OLD and would all need to be replaced for a driver.
Lots of things in workable shape, that would need to be replaced in a restoration to driver status.
So I still say, unless the guy is just adamant that he wants today's pricing, or it's a particularly interesting model that you've always wanted, I still say $2500 and no more.
And it pains me even to say that about one in that condition. But I'm fully aware what some are getting these days for the same thing too.
Good luck. Hope you get it for $1500 and use the savings to bring it back to life. Doesn't have as far to go as many. But still a bit of a trip to get there.
