Guys -
Thanks for the opinions. I decided not to buy the truck based on what everyone here said. It really helps to have a cold hard objective opinion in a case like this.
Still looking for a nice truck, though, ideal truck would be '48 - '53 1/2 ton 5 window with a floor shift, would consider a 3/4 ton from the '51 - '53. Most of the trucks in my area are "chopped/lowered with a small block, chevy 12 bolt rear and auto transmission", which is exactly NOT what I'm looking for. Looks like I'll have to ship one from out west in order to get something close to rust free.
Guess I have to keep my eyes open...
Thanks...
Chris
