One question I would have; what are your plans for it? A daily driver? I had a 54 about 15 years ago that I had planned on using as a DD. It was completely stock. Personally, I got tired of it quick. That stock suspension got old real quick for me. I know yours has a v8 and obviously a new rear end, so I'm sure that would help, but it still has that old truck handling if it's the stock straight axle. So, I guess if you're just wanting the body and you're doing a MII front end or a S-10 swap, that's probably too much money IMO.
But, what are your plans for it?
