Cool, when you go look at it, get tons of pics! Check the frame, engine and trans. As long as they are all good, we can help with the rest, from advice to parts!

I'd say about a 96 or 97. Deff check the sticker on the driver door jam.

Along w/ the frame check the Shackles and hangers for the rear leaf springs.

suspension will be different between 97 and 8, in 98, the reg cabs became 3" longer behind the doors, the seats are different in 98. the front end could have been replaced due to an accident. but unlikely. get some pics of the interior/motor and it can be set in stone.

Hey fellas. So it turned out that the green one was a piece of junk; exhaust was bad, just in pretty crappy condition and on it's last leg (with almost 300,000 I should've known otherwise). However, I found another 97 with 104,000 that I'm going to check out tomorrow for 2500 but hopefully I can talk him down a bit, we'll see.
