    Based on your question, i would have to respond thinking you have no clue about buying a truck. So the first thing you need to do is find a certified mechanic, and pay them to look this truck over with you, before you even think about buying it. Pay the mechanic $100 - $150 for his time and effort. If the seller will not allow this...walk away!! It is cheaper than a $20,000.00 mistake!
