Agreed, it is tough to see in the first set of pics, but the 3 on the tree has been converted to a floor shift. Its there if you look close. The auto trans looking handle is the transfer case.
Yes, rust is relentless on these. Having one of the floor pans replaced is no surprise, but not a deal killer either. 3 owners means its likely been well cared for.
$30k is a bit high, but not smokin' crack high. Similar unrestored units seem to sell in the $22-28k range.
