    It's really a 58K rig. The poster made a mistake.

    $89,000 or it could be $58,900. But dumps are pretty pricey.

    That thing don't look too bad, for a steel body. Granted, a polished aluminum bathtub would be an improvement.

    No, that thing doesn't look too bad at all.

    I'd give 'em 40K for it tops, though.

    I'm surprised the person didn't take the rusty caps off the wheels and replace them with nice, shiny new ones. That'd be a good way to ask for another 10 grand for it.....and get it, too. Add a new chrome stack (straight pipe) and a chrome bumper, and then sandblast the bed and rims, and it'd sell for 75K. Wax it with some rubbing compound to take the oxidation out of the paint and spit shine the tires and it may go for 80 thousand.

    It's all about perceptions. It's all about perceptions.
