Take your time looking. There is new stuff on Craigslist every week. I'm in LA and drive 6 hours to Arizona for mine but had really good photos sent to me. If they won't send good photos leave it alone. I'd be more concerned with a truck with bubbled paint than seeing the rust. Bubbled paint is hiding a lot more. Be concerned about roof rust and front cab rust. Rockers and cab corners aren't bad. Also longbeds are pretty cheap. What you looking for and budget?

Haha.. Yeah man. Im on craigslist all the time looking for one. Im not super picky. I would take pretty much any color any year 67-72 c10. I prefer a stick transmission but thats not a deal breaker. I would like a inline 6 or small block v8 again not a deal breaker. Long beds, short beds, fleet or step its all good to me. Ill make it into what I want eventually. I have $4000 for the truck right now.
