I was trying to buy this truck in Feb. Agreed to his asking price of $5200 which included extra bench seat, tilt column, original wheels and extra set etc. Just needed to verify condition. Tried to find someone on the board to take a look for me and came up empty. Owner said only serious rust was rockers and rear wheel wells. Since I couldn't get someone to take a look I requested more pictures. The pics were telling a much different story. He got mad when I requested pictures of the floor. Got some snotty emails but no more pictures. He said he was stuck on the price of $5200. Later another board member was looking at the truck at $4500 "firm". Now it's $4250 "firm". I'd be patient and wait him out. I think it is a great truck. A true Super with A/c, fac tach, and posi. For a guy like me, with out paint and body skills it looked like a lot more than I wanted to bite off. especially at that price. If the price got "right", I'd find a cleaner body and make one truck out of 2 if I was in WA.
