i i have only seen the ad. havent talked to them, or seen it. its in the NW, so rust is probly minor. unless these things are like the iron pigs, which i think were sold with rust.
Easy worth 2K. If it runs well, jump on it!
Probably right. Even at over 200k. I would run CarFax for sure.

On the way there
Looks like a good deal. If it isn't rusted, then well worth it. Just remember it's a 23 year old workhorse (meaning, it hasn't been babied for 23 years) and will need work. I paid 3k for an original at 160k and thought I got a good deal. Still running and driving great at 220K.
I looked at that 60 a few days ago. I wouldnt pay more than 1500.
The first pic shows the good side (passenger side) If the rest of the truck looked like that I would have considered it.
If you notice the drivers side pic where you can see the rear door - it really is the wrong color white. There are random dents on the drivers side, the upper hatch is primer black and dented, the lower gate is dented, there is rust starting in the drivers fender opening, and a nasty dent on the corner above the drivers taillight.
The rockers are also a little dented and the windshield is cracked accross the middle. It started and ran OK, but I left without even driving it. Really dirty under the hood like it wasnt taken care of.
The interior is generally nasty. If you want a nice one this isnt it. If you want a trail rig offer low and go for it. The guy seemed desperate when I met him.

thanks for the info. 
Looks like the beginnings for a killer trail rig... If she runs well.
You should see my rusty ass!

LoL, I almost called that guy on it. I'm looking for a 1st Gen pickup though but that was almost too tempting.
Call him and ask about rust, engine condition, drive train condition. But seriously it is probably worth quite a bit more. (Coming from someone that almost tried to buy it)
