The Midnight Rambler- '68 K/20

[Bravoaloha]

Hey everybody- first post here. (I'm hoping this thread will become a build thread in the near future, I thought this was the best place) I have been eying this truck for about a year now and have spoken to the owner a couple times about selling it. He was not interested in parting with her then, but I drove by yesterday and lo and behold- she had a big 'ol For Sale sign on her.

The owner does not seem to know what is wrong with it, which is scary for me as I am not familiar with these trucks. He says it runs, but has not been driven in years. It definitely has some rust issues, but I would be happy to get it tip-top mechanically in the near future and leave the body as is for the foreseeable future.

What do I need to look for before I get really serious about diving in? What questions do I need to ask? I think it could be a relatively easy and cheap project, but could also end up needing a lot more than I anticipated. Apparently the truck as some transmission that is rare and sought after.

I named her The Midnight Rambler after the song by The Rolling Stones. Just seemed to fit.

Guy wants $1000.00, Im going to offer him $800.00.









Should I pull the trigger?? I'm young, and just out of college. May not be the best decision financially, but my plan is to sell my dirt bike to cover the cost.
