Looking at 78

[zog]

I'm looking at a 2-tone 78 with 4" of lift, 35" tires. It's brown and white, and in immaculate condition as far as paint/exterior. One small rust spot about half the size of a CD on one door. The interior is basically showroom quality. 400 V8 runs well, with 96,000 original miles and so far as I can tell the rust is the only thing that needs fixing.

It's my brother in law's truck, and he says he'll let it go for $3000. I wish I had taken some pictures this weekend when I looked it at. I'm pretty set on buying it, and I feel like it's a pretty fair price for the condition it's in.

So what are your thoughts? Thanks for the advice and nice forum you have here.

78/79 are nice trucks! From what you said about its condition, I'd probably give the $3000.00 for it.

Good luck,

I'd try to talk him down a little if it were me. I gave $1500 for mine and its probably not as nice as this one but its in pretty good shape for its age.

So Zog, did you buy it? If those 35's are new, that up's the price right there.....
