Mike, if you're going to Kansas it's a great place to hunt old vehicles. Western half of the state has lower humidity, hence less rust. Summer of 2015 I bought a '51 one ton near Jetmore, Kansas for $1200. It looks just like your truck with a little longer box, little different grill, and heavier duty axles and wheels. Mine looks to be in the same solid condition as yours. No rust holes and not beat up. Plus my truck is complete. Everything is there. I think if you look around Kansas, especially in the western part of the state, you can find a better deal. Take binoculars and pay attention to the farms with older buildings. Many of them have old machinery and pickups sitting in the weeds. Seems like the half tons bring more money, so if you can live with a 3/4 or 1 ton you will have the same look for less money. Good luck in your search, wish I was going with you, love to hunt old Mopar iron! Mike.
