None taken. Now that I've been involved with squarebodies for the last 6months or so..........or really just hunting down a good truck for fair money.......watching CL and ebay and such I think what it comes down to is timing (or who you know).......funny how you buy something you've been searching for, for a while and then I'll be damned if you don't find that same something in better shape for less money 2 days later. My point being, in the period of time I was shopping for this truck the ones I looked at in Cali had some very proud owners if I'm putting it nicely. So at the time it was the best I could find in my price range. And wouldn't you know it............2 days after I bought this truck it seemed like everyone was selling something better for less or there were just plain more options then when I was looking just the other day. It's a tough thing knowing when to pull the trigger vs. when to spend more time looking. I suppose that's where having experience with these types of things helps.

suffice to say, I'm happy with my deal and she'll no doubt be a fun project. I did learn a few things in the process though and that's always a good thing
