For me it would really depend on the condition of the truck. You can put 2-3 grand in it (if you do the work yourself) and have a nice truck for under 10k, if the rest of the truck is beat, you still have a beat up truck after putting money in it. If its in good shape, I'd jump on it for 6k, if you plan on doing the work yourself.

^^^^I agree. Good thing is the price. You could go all out fix the motor totally and have a very low priced truck.
