my dilemma.
 

I am in the process of trading away a vehicle, I have 2 possible options that have been presented to me. the original one is to my knowledge a restored and cared for 1985 sidestep shortbox its chev blue with a corvette LT1 engine (engine may or may not be part of deal) its almost a runner, just needs break lines and a front spindle replaced.
this package seems to make sense to me since its in working order.

the other option, which is more of a project and restoration (not that I am afraid, just I realize the potential amount of money involved.) dont have much information but its a 50's era or early 60's chev truck. from what I can see its missing all glass and grill, lights bumper (he may have them stored) engine I dont have a clue but the body is very solid and nice but seems to just be primed.

ahhh decisions decisions..
comes down to a running 85chev or a potential money pit 50's-60's chev but more unique and a real classic

dont think youre going to find anyone partial ont his forum i say take the Square Body

Re: my dilemma.
 

get some price's on the glass and grill, then post picture's of your new 85 step side !
also, keep in mind that when buy's a used vehicle the engine almost alway's came out of a Corvette .
dont forget the picture's !

I am leaning towards the 85 chevy sidestep. it has a flatbed on it now but the stepper box is included.

going to get more details on the the 50's chev tho just incase.

56 0r 57 by the look of it and has the sort after big back window

Re: my dilemma.
 

Looks like a 55-56 to me, and looks real solid. Those trucks are sought after, if the $$ is right.

Re: my dilemma.
 

Offer him a little $$$$ and take them both. Get the 85 running quick, then spend a couple years on the 56. You dont have to go high dollar on it put camaro clip on it and inexpensive paint and make it a driver.:metal:
