OK, so how much did it set you back?

We got us some "car lots" in Arkansas that really are final resting places for vehicles that haven't yet made it to the wrecking yards. Got one near here that belongs to a guy who we call "Too Low Joe". I sent a lady I work with to see him and he dropped the price three times on a Camaro without them doing any dealing. She's originally from Buffalo, NY and was amazed at his antics.

No, he doesn't have any of "our" trucks.

HavinSomeFun....there's a '72 LWB on Hiway 183, at Bauxite that has rusty rockers, but I haven't heard a more solid sounding door closing since these were new. The hood is nasty, but the truck is complete, down to the wheel covers. It's green/white and priced at $1200 or "make me an offer".

Ray, I appreciate the heads up. I purchased a 72 yesterday from Conway. Got it cheap and drove it home.
