I'm looking at a 94 today and am pretty happy with the mechanical condition for a truck with 240k on it- it had a head gasket leak so the head was decked and the gasket replaced. Compression around 160 on all cylinders Part of that included refreshing the cooling system, new rad, etc. OME 2.5 lift and it's riding on some nearly dead 35s on aftermarket 17s. Front leather is pretty dead, but that's easy enough to refresh.
While most of the body looks pretty straight, It has one area of body damage- the passenger side bumper cover was ripped off and the radiator support has some impressive twisting. I looked at an exposed rad support on another truck yesterday and yeah this piece is toast.
Lower headlight trim is gone, fender looks terrible up close, but may be redeemable.
Rust along the fender looks to be around the damage area as well, probably flexed the paint off the metal whenever the damage happened.
Real question is how much should I ask to knock of the price for this? I'm not against fixing it, but I've also found some trucks that I could throw an OME lift onto and not have to deal with the body work.
My intention is to turn whichever truck I buy into a clean daily driver...
To fix this, it looks like I'll have to pull apart the front clip and just replace the rad support. I've already found the parts.
