Tim..., may I call you Tim?

What in the world were you doing in Nebraska looking for a clean truck?!!!

You live in the Big Valley. Outside of the garages of Hollywood's rich, there is no better place to find a clean, rust-free classic truck. The Sacramento Bee alone must have 50 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks for sale each year in its classifieds. Not to mention every other Valley town (Modesto, Fresno, Bakersfield, Yuba City/Marysville, et al).

I bought my rust-free, unrestored, and unmolested '72 burb in Sacramento from a son selling his late father's truck for his mother. $2000 bucks. Had my dad look at it first. I told him if it was rust free, complete, and ran, buy it. The next day it was mine. Granted, that was 9 years ago, but still, aren't clean trucks still available within easy reach of Sacramento at reasonable prices if not yet restored.

Or have you been trying to find a inexpensive, well-restored truck? Not likely available cheap in the Big Valley– nor should one be if it spent its life in the Big Valley's low humidity with no snow– especially if garage kept. Only Arizona trucks can compete with regards to unrestored quality. And Big Valley classic trucks never had to endure Arizona's super high heat (no offense, Arizonians

).

Please, tell us why you haven't kept your search within the best classic truck region in the nation.
