I broke the cardinal rules..

when looking at a "new" vehicle!

#1 I didn't get pics for y'all to evaulate!!

#2 I didn't look at the option sheet in the glove box!!

#3 I didn't check the VIN plate!!

#4 I didn't take a magnet!!

My hubby and I looked at a 1970 short fleet w/ a 235 (possibly a 250) 6 cylinder in it. It was a one owner vehicle (hubby new the grandson for YEARS) and owner has passed away, so son is selling. It has been kept in a garage/shed since new as the owner was a "gentleman farmer". Has less that 70,000 original miles on it. Metal bed looked awesome and there seems to be no body damage to the front. Rockers will have to be repaired, and the passenger inner fender will need replacing (damn battery). Son did have it repainted original colors. He's asking $2000 for it, but hubby thinks he'll take $1700. We were looking for parts for the '67 when we heard about this. Hubby said there is NO WAY we could use it for parts.

Two questions....is it worth $2000 and what specifically do we need to look for when/if we go back? Like I said...husband has known this family for years and went to high school with the grandson, so the truck is as told to us.
