Thanks for all the replies everyone! After reading the prices paid, what year it was when they were bought, condition, and location, it's really all the same! Free would be really nice but sometimes its the story and personal meaning that matters the most. I could buy something cheaper and closer to home but having a truck that i've always wanted (in thanks to my bothers sparking the interest as a child), a truck that remains in the family (in-laws) for.....well up to now 36 years...and is one of those "I found it in a barn" stories makes it all worth it.
Thanks again!
