What is the story behind how you discovered it? Was it pure luck, or hard work?

I spotted it this summer at the church by the shop on every nice sunday it was there, I had tried to find the owner with no luck, then it was gone, I thought some one had got it, Then yesterday I was driving down the road and it was sitting at the corner gas station, I spotted it and wanted to stop but my wife was having a gathering so decided I better not, as I looked in my rear view mirror A notorious orange and black sign cought my eye I hit the brakes so hard I thought I was going to go through the windshield, and I love my wife but... So the guy was in the station and shot me a price I said I really liked it and I need to think a min on it I called my bother, then the guy lowered the price by 500 SOLD!!

It was a deal his original asking price was a steal, I called my brother to see who was going to own it 68's are a soft spot for us its what our grandfather drove, while I was on the phone he shouted 2500.00 I hung up... its in the garage... I have looked at it hard today took the kids for a drive I thought about doing some stuff but decided its made it 40 years and looks like this I will keep the patina, someone loved it to keep it this clean I will also till it rolls along....

Its rare to find stuff this clean unrestored and the price was under value, I think there are some decent trucks out there in the 5k range Im not sure on your area about rust, check the farm areas. Where my house is it use to be fruit and onions in the lower areas and hay This was a orchard owners private truck.
