Well after reading all the reviews I've decided to go ahead with at least getting it running and then taking it to a shop to have them do a inspection and hopefully give me a good idea on were it's at. With that information decide whether or not to keep going with it or sale. I'll come back after I've taken my next step and give an update.. Appreciate all the replies as they've given me a bit more piece of mind in this endeavor.
Keep volvo or sale

OP, if you are mechanically inclined do your own look see inspection of the truck, look hard, bugs hide in small places. Then find a trustworthy mechanic to give a 2nd opinion, starting with a free truck is the dream of many, but it can go 1 of 2 ways.... Good - or - Bad. Take your time and look closely, you have plenty time with no payments. -

Great looking truck

If the rest of the truck is as clean and straight as what we can see in that picture, good chance it was well maintained. I suspect getting it going is a good investment, even if you decide to sell it vs operate it. One idea would be to check out truckpaper.Com and get an idea if what it would sell for in running, drivable, dot passable condition. Keep an eye on your expenses vs that determined value.

Selling a Truck is only about waiting till the right buyer comes along. Recommend: take to the dealer sell truck by consignment...wait it out. 3+ years for the sale
