Junkyard's 71 short wide

My dad and I have been searching for shot bed for a while. Just over a week ago after work (I get off at midnight) I was looking on craigslist and found this short wide 71. The ad had only been up for a couple of hours and I knew the truck would go fast, so I sent the owner a message (and hoped he didn't hate me since it was so late). When I woke up in the morning I called my dad and told him about it. A shot time later the owner replied so my dad called him. The truck was really nice but it was about 2 1/2 hours away from us. My dad one the quality of the truck was good so we agreed to the asking price as long as he held it until we could get there. We rounded the truck and trailer up and headed north. We agreed to be there at 2 pm so we didnt have any time to spare. We ll wouldn't you know just an hour into the trip we shred a tire on the trailer. We left without a spare... so I find a tractor supply not far off and not having time to wait on a tire shop to put a new tire on we opted to just buy a new one. Off we are again and after traffic and construction we got there over an hour late. The owner was very understanding with us. It took us about 10 minutes to look it over before we paid the owner. It is a super nice short wide with new everything. The truck has a rebuilt 350 with some nice goodies in it and a rebuilt 400 trans. The frame is covered in por15 frame is c-notched with a static 5/7 drop new brakes tubular upper a-arm and more. Here are some pictures of it loaded at cracker barrel.
