Found: 72 Arizona Truck.

[rivernut]

While driving along hwy 52 in the very southern half of Minnesota for work, I spotted a 72 2 wheel long bed sitting in a small one horse dealership.(amish country). Anyway. It had $2,600 or best offer on it. After just scanning it, I couldn't believe how clean it was so I crawled underneath.(with dress pants and good shirt, my wife about sh%#t.) It was completely rust free!!!! After digging through the glove box I saw it had all service receipts from an Arizona garage. Most recently in 2003 a new 350 crate motor and rear end. Over $4,500 in tickets. I finally got ahold of the shop owner and negotiated to $2,400 and purchased the truck. The box and front clip are perfect (except for 3 coats of paint brush paint). It looks like it needs a left rocker panel but other than that the cab is perfect. The inside of cab is very clean. It still has the sound pad stuck to the floor and no unneccessary holes drilled throughout. The gauges all work and the windshield wiper squirter squirts. The rims are the original steel with hub cabs and grill is perfect. I'm not sure if I paid too much but finding something this rust free and together seems to be worth it too me. I drives great and smooth down the road. Any thoughts about the price? My wife is being a complete pain in my $ss about the price.(she thinks its way too much but $500 would have been too much for her.) I need some help from you professionals. Thanks.
