Sorry dcdave no not my truck, but that was what I found after a 5 min Craigslist search under Charlotte NC.
It has alot of what you were looking for, and close to Charlotte NC, price is real good IMO.
* As close to stock as possible-yes
* 460 V8-yes
* C6 Trans-yes
* A/C maybe?
* 2 WD-yes
* Trailer or Camper Package-yes (its a F250, but of course all Camper Specials are going to be).
I just had some time to kill and though I would see what was available in your state for you.
Ha! Dummy me. :-) I didn't notice your post had an embedded link. Yes, I've seen that truck and checked with the owner. Didn't strike my fancy.
I also did a Craigslist survey to all cities out to 250 miles and found a few more. Didn't see any that I just had to have there either.
But then I'm kind of picky. I know what I decide on will cost me more than a couple grand for sure.
I've found a few I'd love to take a look at but the tend to all be out west between Arizona and Washington. That's a little too far to drive to look at a truck. :-(
I appreciate your tip on the one in Lexington though. Thank you.

Keep looking. I looked for a long time, a year or more, and even talked to some old truck gurus and had them scouting it out for me. I wanted a 4x4 f350 (79) auto all original, lariat XLT, regular cab, Rust free, I had more people tell me that I would never find it, it doesn't exist, they made them only one year, they are all gone. I found a lot of junk, but I found one in CA. A 79 f350 4x4 ranger lariat all original 88k miles trailer special, everything still worked. I was ecstatic. Keep looking They are out there just don't give up.
