Nice C10 long beds getting harder to find?

It's been a while since I really just paid attention to long beds other than the K30 regular cab dually trucks that I have been into for the last few years. I was always a short bed guy which I am in the middle of a rebuild on my 85. Then it was K30's which I have one of those now that is a keeper. So now I thought I would look for a nice 85-87 C10 long bed for a daily driver.

In my search to start looking I was kind of in awe that there are so few that are still kept in decent shape. I like the factory two tone painted trucks so that is what I was looking for. So far in the search around me which includes about two-three hours radius (getting tired of driving so far for a truck) I only found one that fit my criteria. So I started looking farther and only came up with a few more that was nice. Of course some of them I got sticker shock on but I guess that is to be expected. Just seems to be a dieing breed. I am somewhat particular when it comes to colors and what I want when looking. Not looking for a mint truck but one that is still all there and not rusted out and hand everybodies hands on.

Just thought I would share my thoughts and see if you all thought the same. It seems like there are a ton of short beds that you can find but nice long beds are alot fewer. Here is a pic of the one that I was going to call about but they took the ad down. Nothing fancy but I like the blue factory two tones.
