Some observations not in the post:
-A 454 was dropped into it around 2001 (vs. the stock 402)
-Camper model
-Brakes are 'mushy' to put it nicely
-Interior is beat up, missing both interior door panels, etc
-Shifting into anything is a bit of a guessing game, and about as accurate as a broom stick in a bucket of broken glass
-After a quick test ride, a puddle of green liquid under the truck (assuming transmission fluid)
-When opening the glove box, a rats nest of collapsed ducts were behind the dash
-A majority of the gauges don't work
-Very little overall rust with only two small spots where it went through

If it was the original engine and/or I didn't get the feeling I was going to spend a majority of my time undo-ing the 'fixes', I would have brought it home.

I believe they've lowered the price to $1400, and the nephew is who to call as the email route doesn't really work all that well.

I would have taken that truck home if it me looking at it. Can't beat it at 1400 bucks..
