Thanks Joe for the reply. I did a bit of research yesterday and am thinking if I could pick it up for $1500, maybe a bit more and I wouldn't be too deep into it.

The truck will need front fenders, drivers floor and kick panel patch (both sides), maybe outer rockers. Other than that it looks solid. It's not rusted from salt, but from outside storage, the body supports all look good as does the spare tire well.

This truck was ordered new by the local government and it served with the Police Department with the Bomb Squad. Still has the dual spotlights. The current owner bought it when the government sold it (70’s). Even though it has 44k original miles the years of storage have not been kind to it.
It's got the barn doors and according to my Chevy Red Book is 1 of 256 built in 1971. That seems like very low production (if that’s right).
