$3500 sounds like a decent price for a running winch truck. Dropsides don't particularly excite me, but overall sounds like a fair deal. Plan on spending at least another $1000 by the time you get the cab top, troop seats, cargo cover, bows and corners, plus the myriad of other mechanical problems you will eventually find. Maybe more, a pair of new batteries are $100-$160 each depending on where you can find them (NOT NAPA, find an Interstate battery dealer). Probably a good deal anyhow. Deuces are money pits!
