Looks decent. Just check for rot in the wheel wells, paint looks fresh.

While you are looking at inner fenders, look over the frame really well, especially around the spring hangers. Ask about when the timing chain was replaced, if they don't know plan on doing the whole shebang plus headgasket for peace of mind.

3500 seems like a lot for this truck to me. Not sure if they command more money in NC though.

you could get mine for that.. and i am in NC.. plus I get bumpers and brand new AT tires. 5spd v6 338k. runs good. and its rhino lined orange..

well the thing is, im trading my 3rd gen for it. ive had mine listed for 2200 and i didnt get a single hit. so a straight trade would be a steal for me.

foonanas, if youre interested in a trade, pm me.
