Now THAT was a Craigslist find! There are a lot of people out of work and hard up for cash these days. It's a shame, but it's a good time to buy a second hand project that someone started.
I dunno a bout the roof rack thing, but thats a clean truck for $500. And a '69... Track down the new owners and offer em $600?
i hate dodge and its way out of my price range but its a cool idea http://seattle.craigslist.org/est/cto/1429681899.html
Wish I had money to pick this motor up and have my bro-in-law rebuild (i.e. port, polish & bore it out a little) http://boise.craigslist.org/pts/1466588727.html
