I craigslisted/oodled/thriftynickled every major city within 250 miles of Sanford for several weeks. Mostly I saw, talked over or looked at rust buckets or very poorly execuited (by poor I mean no plan or goal, not necessarilly poor work) trucks in the $3500 to $4000 range (that seems to be the asking price of any C10 that has had some combination of a single can of primer, a new set of brakes, a worn out 8 year old home rebuilt motor in "like new" condition and torn seat repaired with a blanket)

So, when I saw pics of John Lee Jr I immediatly tried to put a downpayment via credit card over the phone. But they wanted me to look it over first so I got my old legs movein that direction ASAP and it all worked out.
