Hello, great site you have here. I just scored this beauty two weeks ago. She has 57,650 miles and was owned by an older lady who kept it in a barn for the last 10 years before she passed. It's fun to drive and I look forward to all the info I can get from you guys.

Just to put it in perspective , I gave $2222 for my 78' with a rod through the side of the block . These trucks have a funny market though .

I agree, the prices are all over the place on them but when I see how clean the inside of that bed looks you know it was cared for. There is a 76 here in SoCal on CL with a tree growing over the top of it and the guy wants 2k. Its buried with 4 flat tires but it runs! lol

I can say the bed definitely was repainted at some point. Can't tell about the rest, but there are paint runs on the inside of the bed. Looks like they were trying to prevent rust...but yes definitely cared for.

Hi Jason,
Not trying to take over your post, but I just purchased a all original 60k 1 owner luv myself. It has been sitting in a barn for 10 years as well. She still doesn't run at this point, but will be working on it soon. I paid about the same price you paid for yours. Here are a couple of pics.
Mike.

The body is near perfect condition and the dash has no cracks in it. Seat doesn't even have a tear in the material. It is a factory Mikado also. Can't wait to hear it run. This is a true barn fine.
Mike.

Good lookin rig! Definitely a wide range of cost on these trucks. There was another barn find recently that went for something like 7 grand. I paid 150 for mine but it was in real bad shape compared to yours! Even the engine compartment looks nice and clean
