WIW: '82 C10 short step?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I came across a possible deal the other day, a customer has a '82 Chevy 1/2t short step with a wood bed and is looking to sell it. I'm sorry I don't have pics to share so I will try to describe it as well as I can. It looks like an old county truck with all the rust in all the usual places. Fenders are good as are the doors, inner fenders are shot, rear fenders are rusted bad and so are the steps. The wood bed needs to be replaced, it is pretty rotten. There is a hole in the side of the cab where there used to be some type of antenna mounted and the gut is black and pretty wasted. I would imagine the floor pans are rusted through because of the hole in the cab. I didn't lift the hood yet but there is supposed to be a 350 under the hood. The truck was an original 6cyl. Now picture this with a coat of flat black paint with phone book yellow peeking through like a dalmation's coat. He said to make him an offer so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Lane
