1972 K-10 Score - finally!

[JQ-72]

I got a lead on this truck back in January and was stoked to go check it out. Owner wasn't home so I got his number from a neighbor who was outside. 2012 tag and junk in the bed so that's a good sign! I called the guy and he said it was supposed to be a father-son project but the son had lost interest. For sale, I asked? He said he probably would sell it, he'd let me know. So I wait...... After a few months of hearing nothing, I stopped by his house and talked to him there. Now he says he's pretty sure he's going to sell, but he had promised another guy that if he ever sold it that he'd get first shot. Feeling deflated now! So another few months go by and I reach out to him again. He said the other guy is having trouble coming up with the $$. I told him I had CASH today!! Now he's not even sure what to ask for it - "let me think about it" he says. Agh, this is killing me! Fast forward to yesterday - I finally get the call I've been waiting for! He priced it! Visited the bank first thing this morning and drove her home. I've never had a deal take so long.
