Default this may be my chance

to upgrade to a fullsize
this truck has 127000 miles on it, which is apparently nothing to these trucks
its got the 5.3 v8 automatic with tow package, and a tonneau cover is included
power everything, dual exhaust, nice paint and wheels and tires
its only got 3 spots on the paint that i can get fixed for cheap
i do believe it is a choo choo customs truck
he wants 6500 for it, which is a decent price, but im gonna tell him 5500 cash

or maybe he will want to trade for my sonoma haha
but what do yall think?

They put the hood stripes on the wrong sides!

Doesn't look to be in that bad of shape. Depends on whether it was beat on or not as well as how well the maintenance was on it.

That's an ugly front skirt... if you buy it change it to an SS-style bumper and keep the skirts.

Ditch the stripes (which are reversed ) and flames, and pinstripe... Or keep one, but not all lol.

The 5.3 is a nice engine (from experience) and that's not too bad.

But please ditch the front skirt... YUCK.

5,500 is prety good if you can get it for that.

Oh, and lower it... spindles and shackles.

A few changes that'd be a nice truck. Either way let us know what you decide to do.

if i bought a fullsize truck i think i would only buy an extended cab. i can do just fine with a short bed too

but that is a nice truck..........except for the main selling points for the truck "Pin stripes and flames!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !"

Not bad. Needs different rims, front bumper, and removal of the flames and stripes. But that's me.

well i might be taking it for a test drive today
so far these are the advantages i can come up with
fullsize
v8
power options
tow package
sits higher
already has exhaust etc
gas mileage about the same

and the disadvantages
truck has more miles then my sonoma, 75000 compared to 127000
not extended cab
minor rust/paint damage

Don't rush into buying something you may not like... I waited 4 years before finding my current truck. I'm glad I waited, I passed up on some real "winners".
