The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hello everyone new to the site and to classic Chevy trucks. I have just finished a frame up restoration on a 68 Olds 442, and have decided I want to get a 47 to 53 Chevy or GMC short box for my next project. I am not selling my 442 as I have owned it since 1979 and my Grandmother bought it new so I don't have a big budget for a truck. I want to find a solid body, if the running gear needs to be replaced or rebuilt that's OK. This is turning out to be more difficult than I thought, good trucks are proving to be hard to find and expensive! I have been a member of Classic Oldsmobile.com and could not have finished my 442 without the help of that forum. I have been reading on this forum for a few days and its obviously a great forum as well. I am looking forward to my next project and being part of this forum as well. If anyone knows of any good trucks in this part of the country, let me know!
