1972 1/2 4 speed found

[rivernut]

I have found a guy who has a real clean chevy 72 1/2 ton long box, 2wd truck.
It is real clean and straight. I can buy it for $1,700. with no motor. I would get the 4 speed tranny with it. He wants $2,700 for the 350 with the 194 heads and body. I really don't need the motor. Any thoughts? I just picked up a 72 that I have talked about on here alot. Maybe I'm getting in over my head or spending too much? I thought about putting this body on my 3/4 ton frame and having both a 2 and 4wd.

I'm just about finished with my 68 and am sort of looking for another project. If you decide not to take it, would you consider giving me the info on that truck ? I know I would not start 2 projects at a time, I would lose or mix up all the parts LOL.
