Thanks folks! I appreciate the welcome and the input. Its nice to hear from people that have "been there, done that" and can pass along that knowledge.
Being in Central California, things seem to be a bit higher priced here. Not sure if its just because a lot of the oldies are relatively rust free or if people are just willing to pay a bit more.
There are cars here I see in yards that have $2000 prices on them that I saw sitting in Oklahoma with a sign that said "Free! You haul it!"
Eh, either way - I'm going to go grab a 6 volt battery, go check out the truck again and this time hear it run and get it to move. Then hopefully we can strike a deal.
You know when you come across something and it haunts you for a couple of days and tells you "You're gonna regret NOT buying me sooooo... make a move!!" that you'd best listen to your gut and go for it.
I think this is going to be a fun project. Keep your fingers crossed. The owner should be calling me this afternoon as I've got first dibs on it according to him. (And if I get it, I'll be back with pictures! Do I post them here?)
