I’d want to see a lot more pics of the rust.
If you think a truck someone is willing to sell for 5k isn’t going to need 10-20 in maintenance (at least) then you need to learn more about cheap used trucks.
Ishift tranny alone will cost you 3 times the price of that truck.
What year is the truck?International man, stwik, bryan21384 and 2 others Thank this. -

2006 Freightliner Columbia Mercedes engine

The other option is me buying a
2012 pro star with 400k miles for 12k
or a 2014 pro star with 500k miles for 14k..
Both trucks have N13 engine 10 speed Eaton fuller -
What is your total budget for a truck? The 3 you have listed here, are all no go's for me based on power plants alone.

I say save your money and keep looking.

It’s not worth buying a truck for under $20,000 at the absolute lowest. They will cost you more in down time and work than just buying a nicer one. That’s why they can’t give those raggedy piles away.

too expensive to fix. Cummings or detroit, find a truck down south, manual trans, too high of price for that truck
