All the sheet metal is available, don't need the motor and tranny, so what is a reasonable number on a rusty '67 with good title????

I bought a 72 short step last year here in NJ for $600.....I knew it was rusty & needed a lot of work, but I am replacing the bad sheet metal myself, and with no "time frame" to go by, I work on it when I feel like it. The thing about doing the work yourself is , you know it will be done right instead of buying a bondoed up rust bucket that someone has painted and looks decent for the moment..then rusts away 6 months later for a lot more money. I agree that here in the northeast..these trucks are getting very hard to find !
