Well, after months of lurking and learning on Mud and combing the ads, I finally found my 80! 
She's a 97 Anniversary Edition with about 139k, bone stock with lockers. Inherited some service records, and it appears to have been well-maintained. Fluids are current, but I suppose birfs and PHH will be in order soon. So far all I've done is clean it up, change the oil to Pennzoil high-mileage, put HIR lights in it, and start ordering parts. Have ordered the Slee wiring and aux harnesses , CDL switch, aux battery tray, George's dome lights, and a few other odds and ends, and just got my FSM and EWD in the mail. Thanks to the generosity of jditom, I have a new used hitch for it as well (old one has some cancer on it so off it must come).
Now it'll start getting expensive... figure lift, front bumper, and tires will be the next order of business when the bank account recovers.
Thank you all for providing this great resource - I've learned a ton (and burned a lot of hours) lurking here, and look forward to continuing the obsession...
Now a little porn...
