Here in MN there probably isn't one rust free older chevy truck in any junk yard. Even the stuff I bought from the Texas place had rust on it. THere was a little underneith the passenger door, On the inside of the driver inner fender where it touches the cab, and some on one side of the box, just surface though.

All my stuff was probably from a junk yard too. I had to do the whole VIN number thing, but I did it the hard way. A lady had to come inspect it and it was a real pain.

I think it'd be cheaper to go to TX or somewhere and find an old truck out in a famers yard and ask him how much. If its anything like MN (which it probably isn't) I can buy 2wd's for $50. I got a '78 3/4 ton 2wd 350 motor, 4 speed manual 14bolt FF for $50 and it had a factory tach and I believe Gov-loc. I got another truck for $50.....'80 chevy 2wd 1/2 ton 4 speed, 350 motor, has the sort of hard to find grill with square headlights. Drove them both home. I got my '75 1/2 4x4 for $400. And I know where there is another late 70s just like my '78 except without the tach for $50. Tell me....is texas and other rustfree states anything like this?
