several years ago my brother (a mopar guy) came across this rust free dent free original 503 green swb in an elderly lady's front yard. he got the info for me. a/c cab, posi, a few other things. he starts talking to her about it. it was not for sale, but she threw out a price of $3,500. by the end of the conversation she was at $2,500. the truck was located a few hours away from me, and i had a trip planned to visit the area a month later. since it “wasn’t for sale” i waited until my trip. well guess what, when i made it up there the truck had been sold. lesson learned!!
