1600? thats a steel, especially for how good shape the body is in! I paid 1200 for my 1500 gas with 141k miles on it, and its rusty lol. but around here, its once every five years you see one for sale, especially for under 2k so i jumped on it. I would recomend you do the same, but if you can haggle with him, go for it, but dont walk away if he stays firm. just some friendly advice lol
I hope you like it man! I know i love mine even tho its not as heavy duty as yours (yet
