Appreciate the suggestions, but was finally able to talk to the current owner and he has no interest in selling it. He is starting to restore it, and offered to email some pics. I gave him all my info in case he ever changes his mind. He says he has people stopping him all the time wanting to buy it. He is using it as a farm truck right now and says he doesn't drive it much.
A big disappointment that he won't sell it, but at least he is taking care of it and it isn't rusting away in some field somewhere. Makes me feel a little better about it. Still kicking myself for selling it way back when. Man, if I could go back in time...
