Way too much money. like everyone else said. $5000 for the truck and $6500 max for it with the dump bed. Offer them a $1, but then tell them you will compromise and meet them in the middle. Dump beds with a flatbed are fairly common and can be had for pretty cheap. The dump body that one has is nice but I preffer a basic flatbed to a dumpbody. Much lighter. A regular flatbed can alot of abuses too. Just doesnt like big rocks and chunks of wood dropped in from high.
 
be very care full with this guy he is a wind merchant!!!!!!!!!! all he dose is find stuff 4 sale and put it on his website and mark it up he has no license to be a broker and some of the info that is posted on the website is not true and he stands behind nothing as the "deal was with the seller" and "the info was supplied by the seller" "all i do is put people in touch with other people"
 
I did think the price was a tad, high but didnt think to type it in to Kell Blue Book.

Thank you everyone for the advice and keeping me from even come close to a possible bad decision

I am looking at an '85 GMC 1 ton dually 4x4, if you are getting old, get something easy to work on. Best advice I can give.
 
his prices are always high.

do a simple craigslist search on 3500, dually, flatbed, or dump. Here is a bunch of them I found in 5 minutes. Par tof hte question is how handy are you? I would think nothing of buying the right truck with a blown motor and throwing in a rebuild. You might not be that person.

I have twice traded a pickup truck for work. Try posting a ad in the barter section of Craigslist. You never know what might happen
