At this point I'm just waiting for all the bolters from Long Beach to chime in! I've tried this route before, and what I find is that these areas - like Long Beach - are both longer and wider than I can imagine, and just about everyone lives on the other end of the beach.
As far as emailing the seller, I haven't been able to find an email address on the ebay page. Am I supposed to be registered to be able to see an email address? He lists phone number, but to call him when he is home means I need to call in the middle of the night here.
This panel truck may seem expensive, but most of the restored/modified trucks I've seen sell for a whole lot more. There haven't been so many on ebay, there are a few here on the for sale forum, but most of them will need a bunch of work, or the price is even higher! If I could just feel better about doing the ebay thing from half a world away I might take the chance on this one, but I would like someone to take a look first...
