Thom, my friend and I ended up with a price that we both agreed on, and I was going to buy it. Even had a climate controlled place to store it and the $$ ready.
At the last minute his father decided that he didn't want to let it leave the family, so he "bought" it from his son.
I was a little disapointed to be honest, although my wife wasn't, she didn't think we needed another project, and this would have been a major one.
I have my eyes on a nice original double cab that isn't located to far from my house, but the guy won't sell. I am being patient though, no huge rush.
