Local is selling a reg cab 5 speed V6 4x4, asking 500. I can get it for 3-400 probably. Catch is the rockers are pretty rusty and it needs a HG. What would you guys do? I have a 3/4 ton dodge cummins that I drive daily, and plow with in the winter. Looking to possibly get a beater for two reasons: 1 - I wanna take the short commutes out of the equation with my diesel (my drive to work is 1/8 mile) and 2 - I wanna learn to do body work.

So, would you guys buy it if you were me?

Thanks,
Shawn
