Thanks for the input, everyone. I am in Alberta Canada where I feel these trucks are not really that scarce. But in this condition they certainly are. Again it does have some significant rust in the floor and cowls, but as Spotbiltxo points out it really is immaculate mechanically and very straight. Everything works including the horn and lights. Fox I agree with your valuation exactly. I offered him $3000 CAD to start off the negotiation and he got stuck at $6500 CAD. I believe it is one of those cases where he may have overpaid for it and he is determined to make money on this sale... I think I will counter at $4000 and see where this thing goes!
Hope he is not watching this forum......
