In michigan finding a truck this rust free is next to impossible, so this for 2,750 is a good deal. 4.0 5 speed 4x4, didn't really want a flare side, guess I'll have to buy a trailer to load the 3 wheelers. I am excited to sell My GM and get a Ford again

Nice looking truck! +1 on swapping out the box - you're not stuck with the flareside.

My '04 that I picked up a little over 2 years ago was virtually rust-free. I swear it must have been parked in the garage all winter.


Where in Michigan are you?

AFAIK the flareside boxsides are fiberglass = no rust...ever.

Agreed. Find a good used fleetside bed on Craigslist, prep it yourself and have it painted.

Heck, if you are painting it sonic blue anyway they it is no problem swaping in a fleetside bed. Just grab the fuel filler neck too.

Nice to see someone other than me selling a chevy and buying a real truck, the greatest part about selling my truck is I drove it a full year and sold it for more than i paid for it, and i only have to spend another 1300 to get a rust free 5 speed 97 ex cab ranger to replace my rusted out pos reg cab auto s10.
