If I owned the lwb I would trade in a second as long as the swb body was decent. It all depends on where you live I think...up here swb trucks are pretty rare, while you guys in the South seem to have no end to them.

the truck has been sitting for a long time and the motor is locked up.
brakes would have to be redone because its been siting so long
the bed is almost perfect .
has usal rust on rockers. body is in great shape.
iam just lazy or to busy to get it going .
