I ran accross a 58-59 GMC. If I could get a title figured out as it is out of state I think I could do it for sure. It is a decent body needing cab corners and that is suposedly it. It is just setting loosly on a 65 4x4 chassis with good front and rear ends. No eng trans tcase. What Im wanting to know is how dificult is it to finish putting it on this chasis i.e getting body mounted and powertrain and steering, brakes working properly? I also have a 83 4x4 I could strip down to the chasis and use if it would work better or easier. I think a truck like this would look killer on a lift with big tires. Pics are on my other post here. I can pick it up for $500, and its a big back window. If a chasis swap to 4x4 would be something I could do I think it would be worth it. Just needing to know from those who know what I would be in for. Thanks ahead of time. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=378606 pics are post 17
