If you can get here before then with the full $3,800 you can have it." I was there at 8:30am...so in theory I stole it from 2 people!

Its a great truck, I'm very pleased with it.

You didn't steal it...the early bird gets the worm. The owner chose to let you take it away

CV's costing $600? what? Your CV axles (front) can be bought from a parts shop for $80/ea. and then self installed for a grand total of $160. Screw $600! Do the work yourself, save a ton of money. Those guys make money off everything.

He is not one to get his hands dirty so I know he won't do it.

you can find a better deal, i know it.
try craigslist.

and i strongly suggest a compression test before you buy also.
