coolest 73-87 truck you should have bought but didn't?

I once had a chance to buy a 70K original mile, 2-owner 1974 C30 reg. cab pickup with the teepee Camper Special trim designating 1.25-ton rated with 12 leafs showing out back! Had NO rust anywhere, was burnt orange w/white for paint lsightly faded and brown bucket seat interior with power windows and locks. The door panel trim, instrument cluster trim ,etc. was like NOS and the dash was pristine-no damage anywhere, even the factory console was like new! Truck had the 454 with a TH400 and 4.10 rear gears-asking price was $3800. I just couldn't pull the trigger on it at the time-I just opened my shop and was building several gbodies and I had a few trucks on the back burner just for me and thought about this one-then I passed on it. I kick myself every time I think about it still-at least I know where the truck literally just sits though....I see it several times a year and it just sits outside and never moves...wtf?
