I have seen the light!

Ah yes, i have finally decided to buy a 73-80 C10 to go along with my 1990 K5. Now since the climate over here isn't exactly ideal (a lot of snow and sleet days during the winter) and the local DOT officials have for some reason a weird obsession with salt, +20 year old trucks in decent shape are few and far in between. I was however able to locate a 1979 C-10 Fleetside, an ex-diesel now with an olds 350 gasoline engine, a th400 tranny and a 12 bolt rear.

I spoke with the owner and according to him it needs a new battery, ignition lock, and the power steering pump is leaking fluid. It has had the bed taken apart and all rust repaired, the cab floors have been welded and so on, it also has a fairly new 2-tone paintjob. Completely rust-free, i was told.

I'm going to look at it tomorrow, and if it's in decent shape and rust free, i'll be driving it home. The owner wants €2150 (some $2300), but i'll bet if i show him €2000 in 50 euro bills he'll take it.

Does the price sound fair to ya'll?

Anything i should pay extra attention to in the truck?
