We've seen a lot of trucks sitting and in junk yards, and one that was supposed to be pretty nice but wasn't. I was starting to get discouraged as nothing we've seen was anywhere close to as nice a condition as what I wanted.
Decided that even though the trucks out here are overall in better shape than ours at home there is still a reason they end up in junk yards, they're old and get to be partly junk for one reason or another.
So finding a real clean truck on a road trip might take a lot of luck. Increased the odds by scouting out possible good ones before the trip. I first called about this truck about 6 months ago and luckily enough he still had it.
On our way home still have a lead to follow up with on a 1 ton pickup bed and keeping an eye out for a Cosmo cab.
