Fixing rust isnt cheap, paying someone else to fix it is astronomical..
I'm about 20 miles from you so I know whats around here is not the best to pick from..and don't be scared to buy several to build one..
For instance, the bed on mine was a complete rusted disaster..I wound up with all new bed parts for mine...
If money is/was no object , they do make brand new body's for the AD trucks
I definitely don’t mind a road trip. I have been watching marketplace and very few decent ones pop up in our area. I see a lot of options on bring a trailer but that’s tough if can’t see it in person. Seems like they do a pretty good job with posting pictures. I’m in Harvest. If you ever come across anything please let me know!
