Thanks again Snowtoy! Man, you didnt have to do all that but it's very greatly appreciated. I'll be checking some of those out for sure if I can't find the right '85 in the next month or so.
No problem, I was bored, and wanted to give you an idea of what I thought of what was available in your area, in the middle of the price range.
If you can turn a wrench with confidence/or have someone who can help you, buying one in need of some work is also a great way to find good deals. I have been restoring and selling 2nd and 2rd gens for about 10yrs now, and tend to start out with a truck for around $500-1000, and can usually have them up and running for another $500, and outside of the one I restored for my nephew I haven't ever spent more than $1600(not counting my own labor). However if you don't have the room or time for a project rig, it is best to not go that route, heck even when you do, you tend to end up with one or more projects ending up just sitting there.
