68 longbed

[the_goat]

I looked at a 68 gmc longbed today. It came with I6 and 3 speed but now has a rebuild 350 from an 89 chevy with an edelbrock high rise and a holley 4 barrel. The trans is a rebuilt 700r4 from a 84. It has a straight body with mostly service rust but there seems to be a least one spot of rust on every body panel. Interior is decent. The owner installed a 3/4 ton rear end with 4.10 gears and the front is still 6 lug. It has power steering. It hasn't been started in a year and needs the driveshaft lengthened for the 700r4 so it isn't drivable. I offered the owner 300 and he accepted as long as I get it out of his yard by Sat. I still haven't given him any money, what do you think? It's only 20 miles from my house.
As always I appreciate your help.
