go check it out usually the drivers side frame rail would be rusted near the firewall where it bends. and check the floor on the drivers side aswell. but yeah convince the seller to sell for like 1500 or less and if the body is in good condition, just grab a sr and swap the stock motor out. and if the motor does have 160k on it just turbo it.
