ok so i have found a killer deal on a sy but it is a fixer upper. the listing has a few easy things but one that he is not so clear on.. in the post he says "Front driveshaft needs new joint." anyone know what he is talking about and how hard and how much parts are to fix this?? thanks guys if this thing looks good i might be a sy owner if i can make it happen.

Post up the ad listing so we can see what's up with the truck to help you out. Also put up the last 4 of the VIN and the asking price. I bet we can provide some type of history on the truck. A replacement front prop shaft is available. Get a good aftermarket unit. There are tricks to get the old one out.

Before you buy the truck, you NEED to read this site and learn about these trucks front to back to you know what you are getting yourself into. If you didn't know what the front shaft was about, you NEED to read, read and read.

Do yourself a favor... walk away from it.

"Bed needs aligning" generally means that it's been hit hard at some point in time.

Unless your getting for $1000 and are willing to put $10,000 into it, follow the above advice. Walk away.
