Purchasing K5 Out -of-State

[KikiOb]

I'm looking to purchase a K5 (1970s - early 80s) but most seem to be located out of state, and private seller. Have any of you purchased your vehicle out of state? Need some advice or what the process was. Did you purchase without even seeing it in person or did you travel? If you did NOT travel how did you make sure it was in good condition, running, without any issues? Transport arrangements, payment? Any info you can provide to educate me on this process I greatly appreciate!

We have members all over the country and we help each other when possible by going in person to check it out and even sometimes helping with the sale and shipping.
Where are some of your choices?

Don't buy a truck you haven't seen or driven.
