I was just wondering what you guys would offer. I'm thinking $500 for this truck but the owner told me he wants $1200

It is an '86 Eddie, trans may be bad, or may have a bad valve, brakes don't work, major paint failure, some rust(tailgates pretty good), interior is good except drivers seat(torn and greasy). Engine runs, but leaks at head gaskets. I only really want the back glass and wiring for defroster, and the tires and wheels...both of which appear new(but may be out of round). I know this guy needs money bad (one of his friends told me). I can't use any of the body panels 'cause I've got an '89.
what would you offer him?
TIA for any input.

I paid $100 for an 84 that needed raduis arm bushings, I would have kept it whole if the floor wasn't rotted. The drivetrain was perfect and the tailgate was 99.9% perfect. Just my $.02

I paid $300 for my 84 with a blown motor, and $300 for my 88 with a broken hub. I wouldn't pay more than that for a parts truck IMHO.
