This has been a good thread, and in an effort to keep it going, I'd like to add my two cents.

As has been mentioned a floor shifter shouldn't stop you buying an original truck. Look to see what options were added, Deluxe Heater, side mirrors, exterior trim, interior trim, gauge dash, etc., etc.. How many miles are on the truck. Has the wiring been hacked up. These things can be added or reversed, but that's time and money.
