pic link is on the first page of this thread.
I'll pass along what I found out about the truck to give you guys some more details that the OP didn't include while I decide on picking it up myself.
Tires are new, says he spent $500 on them after his discount (he worked at the tire store) and they have less then 1000 miles.
There is no radio.
Slave cylinder is toasted. You can *maybe* pump it up to get you across town, but it's unpredictable and parking more then 5 minutes means you start over with a 50/50 chance of it working. The slave cylinder is inside the bellhousing on these. A clutch kit and slave cylinder runs about $275 in parts at autozone.
The exhaust is good, but it has a flowmaster muffler with dual tailpipes so he says it sounds like a bad ricer. Remember, this is a 4 cylinder.
He says it runs great and gets good gas mileage.
The truck was side swiped, and rather then fix the dent in the bedside, the previous owner filled it with bondo and sprayed it, so that section is off colored. The passenger door handle is missing completely, and it's a bit mangled where it would bolt in place. The door opens and closes fine from the inside.
Driver's door needs a pin or two and bushings. It drops some when you open it.
He said the brakes are good.
The wiper motor has an intermittent short and will come on randomly by itself.
I think that's about all I remember from our conversation, but thought it might fill in the blanks and get you guys some more details should someone be interested.

Sorry triumph I told him to send the pictures. Ill tell him again. And everything said above about the truck is true as far as I know. Like I said before I told what I knew about the truck and provided his number so he could tell you guys everything about it. I think the price reflects what your getting. It's not a $2000 truck its a $600 truck.

But to be fair, I sold a 92 2500 4x4 that really needed nothing (door pins were tired i guess, and it supposidly has had its pitman arm replaced), for $1000.00, But I just needed it gone.
Sucks about that slave though, Inside the bellhousing? Odd design.
