Not a catch yet. I saw the vehicle the other week, but it is among a bunch of other in progress projects, jeeps and what not. Most of the 73s body was contained in bubble wrap and he was working on locating a fiberglass top, he lost one during a drive in a windstorm, and rear swing-outs. I didn't get a test drive because the front seat was not present. Leaks at pinion seals, and shackle lift. The front of the frame and bumper looks a bit bent, but I am really more concerned of what might be under a layer of body filler and primer on the frame and body (Pennsylvania truck).
I could have followed up on the CL one in NW Albuquerque, but I had a difficult time asking questions from the owner without being interrupted by his soliloquy, and I kinda wonder about any vehicle advertised as being running if you have to, "pump the brakes up."
And, I was looking at a 1971 a while ago, but it was bone dry in one of the m.c. reservoirs, and bone dry in the slave reservoir, no coolant visible in the radiator, no concept of how to use the cable choke, so he used a ton of carb cleaner to get it started, and as I declined his offer to take it for a test drive while it is smoking out the exhaust, he told me to come back at 1pm after he "topped-off the fluids." It was a nice truck that was a great price, but it was almost too good of a deal in a world that includes the internet, and trailers (which I don't have access to).
