    Sounds like a solid old ride to me, and as long as you do your homework it should be fine. Good luck!

    keep in mind..it might have the studio package....but 70" is NOT a studio sleeper....studio sleepers are 86"

    I'd consider it.

    If you are going to finance, ask them if they will finance a 2001 truck. When I asked, they said nothing older than 9 years old.

    Actually KW used to offer both the 86 and the 72 as studios. It is very possible that that vintage of truck has a 72 in studio sleeper.

    he said 70" tho.....but yeah, we had a 72" with the studio package.....

    Yea but if you kno KW trucks you kno that they never offered a 70 just a 72 so that they could be bigger than petes 70 inch. So I assume anytime that someone is looking at a KW with a 70 on it it is really a 72.
     
    Giggles the Original Thanks this.
