Good morning, young forum member here, I'm looking for a solid C10 project I can use as a semi-daily driver. I have found a truck I like in Long Island NY but I'm located in Los Angeles so I would not be able to see the truck before buying. I want to know if anybody has any recommendations for getting the vehicle inspected in that area. I know I'm signing up for a little rust in this truck I just want to know how much. I would be spending all of my current savings for this truck. I know I could step up and spend $5k more and get a nice finished truck but I don't want something I'd have to worry about. I appreciate that it's a used truck and not a garage queen. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
