One more thing to think about is it is an original big block truck so if you aren't going to stay with that you may find a better deal elsewhere

My budget is $20K and I will have to pay for most of it, certainly the body work. I would like to media blast and then repaint to the original colors. The interior looks pretty good so not much there. Fix the AC. A daily driver, not a show truck. I drive my current truck about 2000 miles a year. I would stick with the big block b/c it only has 5000 miles on it.

Originally I limited my search to SWB b/c my garage is too short for a LWB. Then I realized that I've had my current truck for six years and it has never been in the garage. So I decided to expand my search to long beds b/c there are more of them and they they seem to be less customized. I was also told that they handle better at freeway speeds and of course they carry more.
