No, if you are a Cottonlander you must:
a) mull it over (until it is gone),
b) Jew the seller down 20% (because an asking price is never what a person could possibly want for it)
c) Purchase 30 year old vehicle with ZERO mechanical skills and expect it to be perfect

Hot Damn
If it makes y'all feel any better I only paid $5,000 for the purdy truck. You gotta be ready to pull the trigger son!!
Nathan is a super nice guy......DR to be in fact.
Issues to my untrained eye -- some little holes where top meets tub on both sides, hood has some pin holes, fuel leak, power steering is shot, various leaks that 30 year old trucks have, clutch is WAY loose....to the point I had my knee in my chest before it engaged, but once you get the feel of it it's ok.
Good -- working winch, lights work (including in cab light), decent sky jacker suspension, jack parts are there, rear sill is great, floor has not rust, knuckles look really good, cab and frame VINs match (no vin plate in engine bay), rear heater with plumbing.
Of Note -- factory cage has a cross member, tires are good, rides well, doors shut very solid, patina is jut freaking cool.
the first of many pics (he is new to mud and really just trying to sell the truck so I offered to post up the shots for him) ....i just snapped as I talked and looked so forgive some of the bad ones.
