As fate would have it the guy called me up and offered it to me for 2 grand under his original price on Saturday. It is running albeit running a bit rough, and yard driving. Now it is in my garage. I did a little initial tune up type stuff, mostly getting some of the wiring sorted out and and fooling around a bit with the carb, bleeding the brakes and so forth.
I have ordered up the majority of parts that I need for it. Mostly small interior parts, and then all the parts needed for a full tune up and carb rebuild. It has smoothed out running for the most part however there is the slightest bit of lifter noise so I am sure the valves need to be adjusted.
For the money I have into it, I don't think it can be beat for a non show truck.
The majority of the work will be in finnishing up the wiring, and going through every nut and bolt in the body / bed as there are quite a few missing nuts, and a few missing bolts.
I took your advice and have sent an email to Barry Weeks. As it turns out, according to his profile his town is only around 10 minutes away from my town.
