Your looking in the neighborhood of $4,500-$5,900 for one. So figure close to if not just barely over 5 for a good condition truck. I got this from Kelly Blue Book. www.kbb.com and you can go there select used cars and put in the information and get an idea of the price. This is based off of my area since you put your zip code in.
You can also take a look on cars.com and see what people are asking to find out if the price is fair.
Know this, the seller is always going to ask for their best (highest price). What you need to do is figure out the point where he will accept a deal. So if he is asking say $5,000, he may accept $4,200. It's ok to low ball (give a fairly low number as an offer). As long as it is not ludricous, i.e. $500 offer for a car asking $5,000. But to the point where you feel you are getting a good deal. If the truck has been sitting around for awhile, then you cn push a little more. But I would call give an offer once you get the numbers from online research and just leave it at that, say "I am going to offer this much, I like the truck, think about it and let me know by tomorrow."
Most likely you will get a call back with either an OK or with a counter offer that you can come back with or accept. Most times the first counter offer is good enough, but if you want a couple hundred less then tease him. Here is a scenario:
Let's say its $5,000 asking price.
You
"Hi, It's a nice truck (no enthusiasm), so I think a fair deal would be $4,100, think about it and give me a call tomorrow and let me know."
Him the next day
"$4,100 seems a little low I really wanted at least $4,800 for it, I can do the deal at $4,800."
You
"That's not really a deal now is it, (give a little chuckle), alright I can go as high as $4,500, that's $500 less than your asking price and $400 over my offer. I feel thats a fair ground, let's just call it and everyone's happy."
The trick is to offer him something low enough that when he counters a number, you can safely split the difference you are at with him and explain it, and make it sound fair, which it really is.
good luck, email me if you want more help

Go to the Kelly Blue Book or NADA websites to check the exact value. People won't pay more than the book value says it is worth. Probably about $2500 if I had to guess.

Whatever KBB and Edmunds said to pay for it. It depends on the condition of the truck too...
