Re: Does this seem like a good idea for a build?
I would keep looking I learned the hard way on many a piles of junk with rust that I have bought in the past . the rust is in every part of the truck it makes it hard to buy all new parts or good rustfree parts when you can keep looking and find a good truck to start with I bought my 77 crew cab out in ca. and had it shipped to ga. just because it wasn't eat up with rust it had just a little rust in the floorpans but they were easy to cut out and replace the bed had a couple spots so replaced it with a bed off a 87 with no rust for 300 bucs . what I am trying to say is if you are wanting a nice truck just keep looking and you will find one sooner or later ,

That's a sweet truck. Yeah I guess I need to expand to the West coast and down south as that seems to be where all the decent trucks are.

Any opinions of this one? I may go look at it, I'm not too crazy about the plow, but, we will see.

$6500 for a truck that you know won't pass inspection? I admire your bravery haha. Looks like they painted over a good deal of rust on the frame too.

Re: Does this seem like a good idea for a build?
plow on truck = automatic solid rust bucket on the underside and more drivers beat the hell out of plow trucks also .
I always say buy the cleanest truck you want . . . then buy the plow you wont to install on it . never buy a used plow truck .
