    Thoughts on buying this truck

    https://offerup.co/UxYcF6AdcW

    what you think? He said he will take 2k. Was professionally rebuilt a year ago and recently painted. I want it for my daily driver work truck. I just want to make sure I’m not going to have to drop tons of money into it. Just need it to last 2 years and I’ll keep it as a back up later on. Seems well taken care of. Things to look for when I go check it out?

    Hello Shug welcome here... Take a mechanic to test drive it for you... Ask for the price to be lowered because it will cost you to make it legal...

    TIRES stick out too far from the bodywork <--- doubt it's legal..?

    Well I can't check it out due to the site auto blocking me. Fresh paint and a proper engine rebuild saves you grief as long as it is legit and not bodged over to hide the usual evils. Things to watch for - difficult engine starts, poor running performance (could mean ECU trouble if it's a 4G64 or 6G72 V6, or issues with the ICM in the distributor, a bad coil, a wiring fault etc). Over size wheel offset will cause bump steer. It can be negated by fitting a steering damper to the drag link or swapping the wheels for zero offset.
    (if the bump steer is really noticeable this can make the truck unpredictable at highway speeds = )
