This was incorrect after seeing the truck

she's sending me the VIN - the PID is gone from the GB.

The truck was very nice inside but with some rust. The nicest/cleanest dash I've seen. It was used to run back/forth to the dump and I'm not sure the engine was ever taken care of (original, had a mouse nest in glove box and on top of carb).

Don't know what your budget is but you would never get the truck your looking at to the level of this one in Portland

The budget is <$3000 for a truck that needs work, but not a complete frame off restoration (as I'll be doing it myself). Ideally, it has the usual issues - spots of rust, some dents, a carb that needs rebuilding, paint, new seat, general interior redo (removing the hack job radios, etc).
Not afraid of welding, sanding, grinding, electrical, etc - just never done engines outside of engineering school 13 years ago. Want a truck that can get me the 10 mile round trip to Central Welding, Home Depot, etc while still having many weekend projects over the next years to have a nice truck for the next 30 years (I don't want to just buy a truck... won't learn anything and where's the fun in that
)

Another possibility. My guess is that it needs an engine replacement... I won't be able to handle that but for the right price - it may fit in my budget considering the cost of basic crate engines.
