thoughts on this truck I may buy. trying to upgrade while staying off e-logs.

I plan if I buy, to keep driving my current truck til spring, march or later, while going over w.s. and doing all I think it needs. My current truck, just broke surge tank bracket. Which us unavailable. Not even at a junkyard. I had to fabricate the old bracket with c clamps, and weld, drill e.t.c.

 

Did forget, it did gave oil leak somewhere on front gear train cover. My downtime, loss wages, in the past were almost always more than the cost of repairs. If I can keep working while doing fixes to the star, it would be nice. I mean if needed, I can get a inframe done for $6,800 plus tax.

 

Going to call owner, and ask about the Vin. But I read the mfr date on door jam myself Aug 99

 

Thanks for all the input, after all I read, I'm not there yet but leaning towards a yes on buying.

 

Confused you say 2000 year is not exempt, but

confused.. first sentence in bold says mfr date, not title date. then you write if its titled 2000 is not exempt? the mfr date is aug 99" please expain. going to get vin from owner, but the mfr date w vin decal on door jam is as I say, so i'm not getting why this would not be exempt. though I will make sure before I buy, if I buy.
