All original with a slightly lower stance and maybe some big billet wheels, although I would not get rid of the original wheels. My avatar picture is my 47 Chevy sedan when I bought it. I am about half way through the build and wishing I never started it, street rods are nice but a costly pain to get finished. It will be a real nice car when its done and you dont see to many of them so I'll keep on truckin through it. The 86 looks nice, we may need to get together someday if I get the truck so I can get some ideas. Thanks again.
I have been wishing I lived in Marion for a very long time. We just happened to find something we could afford after searching for a long time.

I understand what you are saying about the appeal of an unmolested truck. I wanted the same thing, and spent over a year finding one. If you like it, buy it. It is only $800. That is the most you can lose, and that's a good thing. If that is important to you, it is worth the money just not to spend a year looking like I did.

I'm happy to help if you get the truck. Let me know.
