Sorry can't link, maybe a smarter member than I can do such for you. Good luck in your search.

Found it...Thanks!
The guy says it rides like a lumber wagon. I wonder what that means?
Do you think it would be drivable back to Cave City? It doesn't look like it has any tail lights. I don't have a car hauler. I appreciate you checking for me. Since I'm not a mechanic, should I wait and find one with tail lights?
What's your thoughts?
PS. I've never looked in the car/truck section before. I've just been looking for "chevy 4x4" in the For Sale section. There seems to be more or different trucks in the car/truck section. Thanks for telling me about it.

That translates to me into, I'm used to driving a late model truck that rides like a car and this old Chevy with leaf springs at all four corners, rides like a dump truck (or lumber wagon).

This one is a decent deal. As long as you are going to drive as is. If you want to get body fixed and painted will cost more than the truck not including any mechanical refreshes that could be needed here and there. Don't forget it is 4x4 and hard to find.

Thanks Krex,
I think it is a good deal. I just don't know how I would get it home without tail lights.
As I stated before, I have a limited budget. I might be able to get the tail lights fixed and some minor repairs but I don't know how I would get it home.

Hey Roggy,
Maybe offer the guy asking price if he'll put the tail lights back in it and hook them up. It really shouldn't be that difficult as long as the wires are there and he has the lights. Just a thought. Let him know your intentions are to drive it home. Good luck.

How's this one,and its in Arkansas. If you got serious about it I'd do some due diligence on the truck. Maybe a knowledgeable board member from your area could help you check it out. I'm also sure their is wiggle room on the price.
