Which to buy?
So, I'm replacing my 72 Cheyenne and I have two SWB 4x4 trucks that I'm considering... One is exceptionally clean and in terrific shape, but is a shortened 3/4 ton 69. The is other is a clean, but not immaculate, 70 SWB 4x4 (waiting to see the SPID and check it out in person, but he claims it isn't shortened). The 69 is 10k, the 70 is 9k.
Would I be better off buying the one that isn't quite as clean assuming it is an original SWB 4x4? Any thoughts?

Re: Which to buy?
Thanks for the input guys. I may try to talk them down on the true SWB and see how bad they want to sell it. I'm really not in a huge hurry anyway...

Re: Which to buy?
Quick update.... The "true" SWB was shortened as well. Had my wife swing by and snap a picture of the SPID. 127. Nice clean truck, but not for $9k.
