You have a pretty good source right here that is spread across the country. I would think most here (myself included) would give you an honest opinion if you'd just pay for fuel costs to look for you.
That said, when I've purchased trucks out of state, the best is a video. Pictures can hide views(bad spots) but the video gives a better overall view. I bought a truck out of Colorado that way and was happy. Have them do sa complete, UNINTERUPTED walk around panning up and down. If they balk at it, there is a reason.
One truck I was interested in was said to be rust free. Asked repeataly about it and they said no rust or bondo. Made the trip and the fenders had holes and you could see bondo exposed in several areas. I told the seller that he stated it didn't have any rust to which he replied, "What do you expect for a 45 year old truck?" Wasted trip, LONG trip, and he couldn't understand why I was upset.
Don't rush into anything with long distance purchases. Kevin
