thanks guys, i was thinking it might be a little too much too, but i seriously have been looking for short bed fleetside trucks in the idaho, oregon, washington area for years and rarly come accross ones that are seriously restorable. so if any u guys from around this area find anything like that, espesially if its a three on a tree, please let me know. thanks again for the feedback guys!!! he had it in the paper for a week (today being its last day) so im pretty sure its not going anywhere right away, ill call him in a month or so and talk the price over again. oh, OldSub, im from Nampa, Idaho; 16 miles west of Boise.
