found a 71 gmc, what do you think?

[redneckdds]

I came across a 71 gmc shortbed today... at, ps, pb, ac(no compressor), body is strait, very little rust, it has a front clip of a chevy 67 or 68, and rear leaf springs??? cosmetically, its not pleasing to the eye, it had the bed full of junk and was completely semi-primered(ha ha), along with a ragged interior. Its got a 350 and a tranny from an 88 suburban. $4500 firm. 1st off, whats the deal with leaf springs in the back? is that a problem or ??? I am not gonna put this in a show, I dont think, but want it to look sharp. Am I, or maybe the owner, outta range here? I dont know much about the gmc's, someone help me out please...
