Yeah, it is very similar to my question. I like your story (I laughed. I cried). I drove mine from Colorado Springs to California. The truck wasn't at all what he said it was. He characterized it as a very good working truck in which everything worked and claimed it would make the drive quite easily. "Definately not a beater" he said. The truth can be elastic. I figure about two years off my life and 10% hearing loss. It's now about 80% restored, frame on. I even painted it myself. The low tech steering, loosey goosey from age, low tech tires, short wheel base and high center of gravity make driving it on the freeway an E ticket ride. The engine screams...
