70 GMC Should I buy?

[Shane M]

I have the opportunity to purchase a 1970 GMC Short Bed 4x4 with 55,000 original miles. I know the owner so I know the miles are valid and the odometer has not rolled over.

The truck is all original except the seat has been recovered and it has been repainted to factory color. It is a 6 cylinder w/ a 3 speed on the column.

This truck is absolutely mint and I can pick it up for $6,500.00.

My only issue is I have a baby on the way and my wife won't be working so I need to know that if I need to sell the truck I could do it quickly and maybe make a little money on it.

I just wanted to see if I could get some expert opinions on whether or not this is a good purchase.
