Buying a C10/20 and driving it cross country

[filter27e]

So I'm new here, but a long time lurker because I've loved these trucks since my dad had a '70 C20 when I was a kid.

So on with my question: if you were already cross country and realized that there's more low rust trucks out here than back at home, would you ever consider buying a truck and towing your own car home with it? I know that in all cases shipping is cheaper than plane tickets and gas, but I'm already here and I will be driving something home either way.

This is more of an "am I crazy?" Kind of poll. I've worked on my own cars as long as I've owned them, even though no old Chevys are in my stable I'm generally good with anything I've worked on.

I'll be looking for a working truck not somebody's frame off with a mahogany bed so there will be a lot of variability, but I suppose worse case I'll be towing a good car if it does develop catastrophic problems in the middle of nowhere. Trip is 2500+ miles.
