Well, I finally got the guy to name a price and he quoted me $3000 and wouldn't budge. Plus he couldn't find the title. SO, this one is out. Too bad, because it will probably just sit there for another couple of years.
Anyway, I think I may have found another truck, but I don't dare say the brand on this site blush
But I will be brave... It's a 1948 Ford F3. Looks like it was pretty well stored with no rust rot anywhere. But this is a discussion for another forum I guess.
Thanks for all the input. Regardless of brand, you guys have made me a smarter shopper. thumbs_up
