    Sounds like a good deal. Is that a high asking price?

    Check the rear pumpkin for corrosion and leaks. Also the truck bed for rust/holes under the new liner.

    Sounds like a really good deal as long as the engine is in good shape. Basically, the thing is a rebuilt truck and you step right into it without having to do any of the shit I’ve done to mine over the last 3 years to the tune of $8k.

    Sounds pretty decent but as mentioned, pictures are worth a thousand words. I’ve seen some trucks with replaced frames but rest is trashed. All the nuts, bolts, exhaust, suspension parts, axles, diff’s, tcase etc. In your case, sounds like a lot has been replaced but just make sure to check the rest out as well and don’t focus too much on the new frame.
