I Need Some Advice/Opinions

[Scootin 81 C20]

Well guys, I went and looked at the truck in Wyanet today. It is in better shape than I thought. The entire rear half of the frame was wire wheeled and the bed bolts were replaced with stainless hardware. The box only has rust in the wheel wells unlike mine, and the truck is virgin steel with rust, no bondo anywhere. The engine was rebuilt a year or two ago, it has a brand new Edelbrock carb, new hoses, and he has all the receipts for all the parts he's put into it. The truck is still drivable (test drove it) and it has 3:73 Posi in the rear. I realized that i know the guy that is selling it, he used to be my neighbor when he was my age. So I made an offer of $1,500 on it and he said he would consider it, since he knows me and knows I'd take care of it. He's in no hurry to sell it, but he just needs something more gas friendly.

BTW, I found out that the wheels and tires he's including with it are factory 16's with a good set of Mud Kings on them.
