I looked yesterday at the for sale trucks. There is a nice white 70 GMC in lower Cali at a (to me) decent price, but the wife said no to a road trip(no grin).

Never liked the look of the GMC for some reason. I will have to stay with Chevy 69-72. I like the front discs on the 71/72, and the grille of the 69/70 (plus I miss my old 69). Though i could do a front end swap later on a 69/70 to discs.

I did pour over the for sale trucks on here. I was thinking to go to Iowa for one but the granny gear and the 4:10 rear end and top speed of 55 kinda killed that for me. Also I am currently between jobs but dont have many bills once I find a job again, so I look forward to saving up 2-4k quickly.

I am learning what the market bears so that I know what is reasonable to expect. I found a NICE 72 in NC on statewidelist.com for a deal and a 1/2 of 1500.00 but alas.. I need a job. The deals will find their way, and I have my list of wants.
Thanks.

Willing to travel to SW Desert for no/light rust, and for the right price/condition I will forego some of these options and install them later.

My avatar is my old truck in 1980-82. I miss her dearly. She died from a dead water pump and florida rust after a colorado flood saturated the cab with clay. What a loss.
