The previous owner must have been the one who towed with it. The current owner has removed the hitch. I will have the current owner check to see if there is a tranny cooler there.

He is going to take more interior pics and send them to me today. I will have him get under it and take more underside shots to get a better idea of the rust.

I am of the opinion that body rust is the worst culprit. I would not think that undercarriage rust would be an issue on these, especially now that it is out of the rust belt and into the safe haven of the south. Am I wrong?

It is a bummer that some of the unique 40th items are gone, and it is somewhat of a concern, if I am looking for a "collector" truck. My line of thinking, though, after looking at a lot of 95-97 80s listed here and elsewhere, was that a built locked 80 is going to start in this range and only go up from there. I add a bit of a premium for the fact that it is a 40th, as they are my personal favorite.

Now, if I am out of line on the price, please tell me. I am a bit obsessive/compulsive and need to have a reality check, if warranted. I couldn't get to sleep last night as I am so psyched. But if this is fair, or close to it, I want to know, as I will be booking a flight for next weekend.

Keep 'em coming, I appreciate your wisdom.
