Here are the other pics. No rust, no bed, and the rear axle was removed--with a torch--but is included.
If interested, PM me with an offer, and I'll get with the owner.
I'll get more pics soon. The color isn't Tan Carc, it is faded mustard yellow--blecchhh.
I talked to the owner today--he wants $1800 for it. Apparently the engine doesn't run..at all.

If I am not mistaken, GL put that same truck up for auction four times before someone (you) actually followed through and paid for it. Hence Robyn's comment; "I wish that truck would go away". Props to you!
This makes you wonder what the actual percentage of "real" bidders are out there on GL.
Golden State Equipment rentals out of Hesperia helped me recover a five ton from Barstow, charged $105 per hour, has a winch on the trailer for dead trucks.
I know a guy in New Mexico who has a couple dueces for sale, and I have to deadhead to Ft. Carson to p/u a truck I bought. If you are interested, it might save you some $$$
