I never bother owners unless they happen to be there with the truck. I know enough people ask me about my motionless project that it used to give the wife the old "Why don't you sell and move on" ammunition.
What I do is leave a business card on the windsheild. On the back I write, "If you ever decide to sell this truck, please give me a call. I may be interested." I do this maybe ten times a year. Enough I keep a log so I know when a guy calls eight months later. I don't get mad if they don't call. When they do, I ask them if there is a time I can inspect the truck that is convenient for them. They can be there if they want or not.
Bought my last truck that way. Call came back three weeks later as the seller was an OTR driver. Have put maybe twenty feelers out since. Found some parts gold mines, but haven't gotten another truck.
