Should I stop by or send a letter?

Hey Guys,

My wife and I are back and forth to N. Myrtle Beach, SC about once a month lately....I usually like to take the back roads to beat traffic and keep my eye out for the next barn find
Well...over the past year, along this one route, I see 4-5 trucks along the way including some junked out 71 lwb, a 70 swb with lots of junk in the back, a sweet small window swb blue 67 looks like it's a DD, and a mint green 71/72 swb...

My interest is to look at the mint green 71/72 truck....it's tucked up under a storage shed with a lean two....it looks oh so lonely there just collecting dust

I've written down the address and have written a letter to the owner (after doing a little research on the local GIS I found his name and correct address)....I hope he doesn't think I'm a stalker....I explained that I was interested in seeing the truck and learning about its history (didn't mention anything about if it's for sale, but hoping to plant a seed if it is)

So should I send the letter to him, or just stop by??

Thanks for any input!
