Re: 1980 short box
There was a '83 SWB frame for sale a few weeks ago just outside Edmonton for $350 or so.
If you are still looking I can try to find his number tonight. I don't know how I missed seeing your build thread up til now but its looking good! There are a lot of guys from Lethbridge on this board! Quote:
