Default Thinking of purchasing 1995 Chevy Silverado, looking for opinions!

Hey guys - first time poster here!

I've been looking for a 4x4 truck for some time now but not looking to spend a whole lot of money. I live in Wisconsin and would use this primarily for snow, hunting, snowboarding & camping trips, exc...

I found this posting on Craigslist -

To me, it's fair amount of miles and seems alright for the price. I believe it could be brought down more, possibly 2700ish. He said there is the normal rust for any 95 truck. Tranny and Engine have been fine.

Just looking for tips on that truck. Any known issues? Things out of the ordinary to inspect? Can I do better?

Thanks a head of time.

seems pretty fair for what it is. I would thoroughly inspect the rust issues, specifically the frame and rocker panels.

Definitely take a good look at the rust on the frame. Being a 4x4 truck, it's likely that it's seen many winters and possibly been offroaded. If the frame and all of its attachments are scary rust, pass on it.

Some rust is fixable though.
