Those $500 trucks are going to cost you thousands each to get safe and road worthy...

I really wish I could buy this one, but with 3 classics, 2 dailys, and a work truck... I have too many now as it is. It's down in Greenwood, well, I guess "up" for you.

So true. I know a LOT of cats who have a half dozen piles of junk that have been "waiting" to get restored for years. All that money spent on wishful thinking could have easily been used to buy one NICE running truck that can be tinkered with as it is driven.

I too would pass on both of those trucks and wait for something better to come along. You could save up some cash, fly out to the west coast and drive a nice truck back (if you are up for an adventure and a road trip) or as someone suggested, have a local boardmember check it out for you and get it shipped.
