Daisy Too! or "The best $400 I've ever spent"

So while looking at a variety of project trucks over the past few weeks, I happened to notice this truck sitting in front of an exhaust shop that is at my bus stop.

It's been there for about 3 months and the other day, a for sale sign showed up in the window. While waiting for the bus, I decided to ask about it.

Details: A friend of the shop owner bought the truck from the original owner in Idaho and drove it to Oregon 2 years ago. The column shifter got sloppy and he burnt up the clutch last year. It's been sitting ever since. Somewhere along the line, he lost the title and decided he was tired of looking at it.

The shop owner says:

"Give me $400 and it's yours."

I used my hand to get it into 2nd gear and nursed it home today after work, I am blown away at how well it runs! 98k original miles and minus the rocker panels, it is rust free and only one ding in the passenger bed corner.
