It looks worth it to me. May be a little rough around the edges but I havn't run accross to many crew cabs of this age, in one ton with a 454 for a decent price or rather in decent condition. All I have seen are 3/4 ton's with 350's in em. I kinda wished I had held out and purchased one of these before I purchased my blazer but hind sight is always 20/20. As for the smog, thats a pretty easy fix, maybe a couple of weekends and three trips to a junk yard and Ill have any sniffer in cali passing her. And Avery, if you were selling your truck you would want people looking at it with money in hand wouldn't you? I know I do. I will agree though, those are some pretty funny lookin tires on that thing.
