Its got fruit, and has had lots of time spent on it. But I'd say $6.5 is closer bet. Still a small vehicle on leaf springs.

What sort of wheeling are you interested in doing? Looking to use as a daily driver as well as getting filthy? Any pref on diesel or petrol? etc etc etc

Yep. I know that truck and it has had everything done properly. I doubt you'd find anything to match it at that price. Very capable but not a trailer-queen.
Ask the boys from Nelson (Sav from the 4x4 centre, Smurf etc.) they will all know the truck well.
