That looks like a nice half cab to me and worth $3500 for sure. You wouldn't find anything even close to that shape around here for $3500.

Well atleast you can see the problems in this one, I've heard of some guys getting an EB home only to find layers of Bondo. I'm kinda torn as to the asking price. Its a 1/2 cab which is rare (worth $500 by itself), matching vin#s on frame & glovebox door w/ clean title ($250+), did not mention mileage (worth more if low miles), and worth a few $$$ if it actually runs. If I could get it around $2500-$3000 I would do it. With that said I know I would drop another $3-4K in new panels, grill, some body/ 1/2 cab work, paint, tires, interior and possible motor/ tranny work. At that point you have a super nice looking EB 1/2 cab and around $6-7K invested. This can be cheaper if you are good with trucks and have your own garage. What would be your goals with any EB? What are you willing to invest to get it to where you want it? Will it be a daily driver? Just my 0.02 Good luck Chief!

Well It does run and purr but has bad gas needs tank cleaned out it was leaking fuel from the fuel pump no biggy. I really have not had time to mess with it as we purchased it that day and then I had to fly out to pensacola for a week for some training. Will post more pic's and more status latter on.
Thanks
