To add to Doc's statement, to add value to picking up something long distance, make it a family event. Whenever I've traveled a long distance to pick something up I try to make it a family vacation. I find a FTE member near by or a interesting point of interest and take a day or two longer to see the sites with the family. Now that my two boys are grown I haven't done it in a long time but it did make the truck or part I picked up less costly in the over scheme of things.

Truck pricing is like real estate, the three biggest factors are location, location, location.
A truck like that one around here would be around $400-500 easy. I think the latest price for scrap around here is $200+/ ton prepared so I'd bet that truck would go $400 as is for scrap.

Fell in love with the one here in Atlanta. $2300 was tempting for a complete truck. It was one of those wife..truck..wife...truck...wife decisions.
Until I get the air conditioner installed in Son #1 1977 F100 and finish Son #2 1967 Mustang, my wife is drawing the line on additional vehicles. That doesn't mean I can't look.
The truck in Atlanta sold and I think a friend of mine picked it up. Have to find out.

I knew when I posted this that distance would be the big drawback for almost everyone, and I truly didn't mean to tease anyone. I know there are a few members in ND, SD, Montana, Wyoming, etc that I thought might be interested. I just know that at $200, someone's going to buy and flip it to the scrap dealer.
