Exclamation FS 69 SWB Body Dropped CHEAP QUICK

I decided to sell my project truck. Have too many projects going at once, enough as where they are a chore compared to a hobby. Anyways, here it is. 1969 Chevy SWB Fleetside C10 2wd. When I bought the truck it was all together, tossed the motor and trans, and started from ground up. Frame was rusted out above the rear coil springs so I built a new rear frame out of 2x5 11ga tubing. The new rear is straight, which ment shimming the trailing arms and welding new perches on the axle. The truck can now comfortable tuck 16-18" slicks. I notched the tubing above the 5 inch drop coil spring to bring it 7" rear suspension drop. The rear is out of a 5 lug truck with 4.10 open. Now to the front, replaced the springs with 2" drop coils and the spindles with 2.5" drop disk spindles. New rotors and calipers and pads too. Moving on to the bed, only thing I have done is cut out the rusted out floor and had a cutout of aluminum sheet metal to install. The front clip is in decent condition, grills dented up, fenders are smooth, but previously restored. The hood is staight, but I had cut two lines in to make my own cowl induction, but never finished. Now the cab, where to begin. The cab has a 4/2.5" modified body drop. I cut out the entire floor then into 3 pieces. The under the seat and tranny tunnel are 4" higher, the area where you feet rest are 2.5" higher. I accomplished this by lowering the front frames mounts down 1.5 inches. I replaced the floorboards, dogleg, passenger side rocker, pass. cab corner, replaced the whole rear cab with a staighter one off another cab, shaved the heater box, repaired rust on the outer side of the firewall and cowl vent areas. I also have replaced the 4 cab mounts but the need to be finish welded in. New bushings and bolts to hold the cab in place. I will include the drivers side cab corner, rocker, dog leg, and custom inner rocker. The doors are in ok condition, I would probaly replace or skin em. No windshield but does have back glass. The dash is out of the truck and I have most the ingination hinges and other small things. I cluster is destroyed. The cab also has some issues of rust in the bottom corners of the windshield down to the floor. Have sections from another cab to help repair. Doors have glass. The title is a clean MIssouri title. I am located in St. Louis Missouri. Any more questions fire away, but I have limited access to the computer so for quicker answers call me at 314-226-6420. DIRT CHEAP FIRMFIRM I have over four thousand invested, plus hundreds and hundreds of hours invested, but understand a project truck ain't worth much. I can either leave the truck apart, bare cab on bare frame, or hang the doors and put the front clip on, the bed needs more work before it is able to be re-fitted. I also have 2 power brake boosters for the truck, the original power drum set up and I believed to be a power disk set up. I also the the column, which was a 3 on the tree.
