How's This Look to Yall.
It's a 1985 Xcab 4x4 With 33 Super Swampers and a 3inch Spring Lift.
Keep in mind it wont be pretty seeing as it's home is in New Hampshire the home of Salt. the guy wants a $1000 for it, and that's about all i have. Good? Bad?

if it runs good then 1000 seems pretty good. i wouldnt mind the body much. it will just keep you busy for months to come. but it looks like the frame by the rear wheel well has some serious cancer.... so on the other hand thats not too good. have you looked underneath?

Looks like a good start to me. I'm sure it will need some TLC to get it up to par. What are you planning on doing with it? Daily Driver? Trail Rig? alot depends on that. Check that frame really good with a screwdriver or something. Look for soft spots. If it has some surface rust...no big deal. If it has large holes in it...may want to think twice before you go throwing good money after bad.

Well it wouldn't be my daily driver i've got a corolla, but since here in new hampshire there are no 4Wheeling Parks there are olny class Six roads so it will have to be street legal. Probably put on some 33'' Radials replace the bed with a flat bed or a Jobox. get new marker lights, im in luck cause i can get things for cost at Napa Auto Parts.

x100 on the frame. IMO any frame repair is not the same as original. If it's good, you could take it home and beat it like the dog after a bad day and it'll keep coming back for more.

As long as it runs well and the frame is good like he says and not rusted out, i would definately go for it. But try to talk him down since your gonna drive an pick it up... I wouldn't mind all that body rust, the cab looks to be in pretty good shape. But if i was you i would definately buy/build a flatbed
