Considering buying from a friend.
Long bed 3/4 ton 5 spd. no air no radio straight solid body upholstery shot 38,000 miles.
What would be a fair offer? I was thinking 6 or 7ish.

$600 or $6000? surely you mean $600
2wd? 4wd? extra cab?
Standard cab 2wd and yes, of course, I mean hundreds not thousands.
The payload tag reads 1500 lbs. Sounds like 3/4 ton to me. Has 6-lug wheels.

Max load {like anyone follows them} Is 1100 lbs. They include 400 lbs for driver/pass. to get 1500 total. Max trailer loads {without trailer brakes} is 2000 lbs. 3000 if trailer has brakes.

Half ton trucks have 5 & 6 lug hubs, 3/4 tons & 1 tons have 8 lug hubs. The payload on my 3/4 ton is 2600 lbs, which is lower because of the heavy diesel engine, the gas engine model 3/4 ton's payload is 3150 lbs.
How good does it run? Need any repair, like tires, exhaust, glass OK, use oil, leak?
$600 would be about right.
four banger? probably gets decent gas mileage. Probably be a handy truck. I'd like to have something like that to take the garbage to the dumpsters.
That's kinda what I have in mind. A weekend knockabout.
Other than that, I'd go for it. If you drive it for a year, it'll pay for itself.
