Not an a-body but your opinion on worth...

How firm is he on the $$$?? Guessing you would fix the bubbles or are you just looking for a driver??
at this point of the game he is very firm on price to the point of the old guy getting pissed when during our conversation about the truck I mention an offer around 2 grand. Jeezz, calm down old fella, you might have a heart attack.. you could tell he was an old guy, because he didn't accuse me of trying to "lowball" him lol...
Yep, thinking I would redo the stock wheels and paint the sides and tailgate in the spice brown color and drive it. That mid 80's two tone. Take the cap off also. Thought it was a little unusual it had the chrome rear bumper instead of step bumper.
