I looked at the truck this morning. It turned out to be a GMC, as I suspected.
It really is beautiful. He bought it new with 8 miles on the odometer in 1985. It has 47,500. The only problems I saw were old tires, the non-working original radio, a pinhole leak in the radiator, the paint was just starting to get a little chalky (I think it will rub out), and the paint on the tailgate does not quite match because the tailgate was stolen several years ago and replaced.
The rubber all looks really good, the seat and carpet are immaculate,and the dash has no cracks. It has tilt, cruise, and power windows and locks.
The truck is absolutely complete, with every emission control still in place on the 305. That is really rare in a city that has never had emission control checks. It is coming in the next few years, and we will all be hurting when it does.
I fell in love with the truck. Unfortunately he has decided that he wants a firm $5500 for it. I don't think I want to pay that much. I will probably regret it if I don't buy it because I can't make mine that nice for the difference in price.
We'll see...
