Playing the long game!

[YBNORML]

So, about 6-7 years ago I saw a very nice survivor 68' long box. It was sitting the parking lot at the local Home Depot. I decided to sit around and wait for the owner.

The owner turned out to be a mid 70's fella named Tom who's father bought the truck brand new. Turns out he only uses the truck during August and saves all his home/yard work for then. After drooling all over it for awhile and him doing the same over my Blazer, which was kinda cool since it seems like the older guys don't really appreciate my style. I told him that when he was done with the truck and if none of his family wanted it, I would be honoured to buy it from him.

Over the years I have kept in contact with Tom, dropping by once or twice a year to say hi and show him what I've been doing with my trucks. He called me over the other night and we made a deal. The deal is conditional on him keeping the truck for one more summer. And then it's mine!

I know it sounds like I'm counting my chickens before they hatch but he's pretty adamant about me owning the truck and he has given me no reason to doubt his word.
