... I made the offer to the lady who is "house sitting". I personally know this lady which is how/why I know about the truck.
The rightful owner is now in Arizona, wife in Hawaii and they are to meet in Ca. sometime this or next week. They are also selling the house where the truck is (nice 15 aceres) so the house sitting lady told me it may be a week or two before we hear from them.
...if it don't work I have my eye on a 3/4 ton '59 that I may buy and put a flat bed on the back......always looking

.....plus I just had surgery for umbilical hernia this past Tuesday and I've slept for two days!!!.....I'm slowly getting better.
