Thanks.
Picked it up this morning and went straight to the shop to get my state inspection done. FAIL. Needs both inner tie rods, one outer tie rod, one lower ball joint, the center link, both front sway links, and a front axle seal. The axle seal I knew about and was gonna get fixed anyways. The others are a surprise. I test drove the truck before buying it and it drove straight and the steering seemed tight. So another $1300 I didn't plan on spending. And to top it off, the center link is a dealer only item (according to the shop) and is going to take 5-14 days to arrive. So the truck will sit up there until the part arrives. No double charge for labor here.
As I see it though, Im still ahead on the truck. KBB says $5700 in fair condition . I only paid $3600 for the truck with 117*** miles on it. Plus there were already some goodies installed such has a full Alpine sound system (headunit w/ ipod hookup, amp, and speakers...no subs) and HID headlights. It does have a good size dent in the drivers side, but no creases. I'll be able to pull it out after I heat the paint up.
This is the only picture I have of it right now.
