Default Is "This" worth it

I kinda copied this from Flareside Crazy (with good intentions) and I hope to get his help with my question. Is this worth it? Keep in mind im from MN so a non rusty truck like this is unheard of.

I am going to call tomorrow and ask about the condition of the ball joints, and leaks, ect.

In Iowa from a private party you could expect to pay $2-4k for that truck. If you can get it for $2500 I would say go for it. Personally I hate the color scheme on that truck.

Yeah I am not to fond of the paint scheme. But is it actually paint or is it the big sticker they put on? I had a 88 that had a scheme like that and it was a big sticker. But I was thinking of a monotone or 2 tone metallic blue. Im going to call the guy today on it.
