For those interested in this old ranch truck. I listed the truck locally on CL for $5200. It sold for $4200. Was hoping to get at least $4800 - but I'm okay with the final price. The new owner will keep it in stock condition and keep the patina as-is (with a clear coat). He lived just a few miles up the road and was able to drive it home. Thanks for all the info and advice.

 

Congrats, that is a great looking rig, and story!
