Worth $1000?

Still, you've got a mostly functional truck for a grand. Even if you throw another thousand or so at it, you'll still have a cool, fun rig on the cheap.

Exactly my thinking.

It's in the garage up on jacks doing a once over on the drive train, brakes & fluids. I'm also stuck replacing at least 2 tires before I can actually drive it. One of the tires lost air in the driveway, the air was coming out of the valve stem (atleast I thought it was) I thought at the time no problem easy fix pull another stem and I'll be off. Well the tire actually had a tube installed due to the amount of patches and repair done by the PO the local tire places won't even touch it. Which I'm happy no one was hurt and I didn't have a blowout while driving the truck home (about hour long drive).

Since I've had time to look at the body closer the PO did a hack job for patch work on the floor boards. So come this spring/summer it will be a oversized game of operation.

tdlr: Radial tire + tube = Bad mojo and Beauty is only skin deep

Thats what i feared man. I had the same thing when i bought my Shortbox. Looked great for about 2 years then it started to show itself. Had bondo damn near 1.5 inched thick in front of the rear wheel well.
