looking out of state

[gerry giordano]

In doing some homework, preparing to purchase 67-72, it has occurred to me that I may need to look out of state for a good truck. That may mean having to purchase one without necessarily seeing it or being sure enough about a vehicle that it's worth a long trip to look at it. I suppose it would be easy if I were able to afford a certifiable "show quality" item but I'm more in the market for a "4" or "5" level (from Standrad Catalog). Any tips or suggestions on scoping things out long distance would be apprciated.

Thank you
