Welcome, I agree with Red, the tuck looks nice. Wrap them headers and are you missing a header bolt?

looks pretty nice =) seems like you got a good amount of battle scars there...nothing a little TLC can't fix!
Other than that looks solid! Welcome!

Good luck. Craiglist is your best bet though. Expect 800-1000+ asking prices

^^ That. Plan on spending at a minimum $800. If you are diligent and scour craigslist religiously, you might get lucky and pay under that amount. About once a year there I hear about someone who picks one up for under $500, but it's always a perfect time and place deal.
