help me with some decisions on a buy

[snacob14]

well, I've got a couple of options right now on trucks. I've looked at a few and have heard the storys from the sellers how there are only a few left and that their rusted out pieces of crap were worth 1500 bucks. So I've found two that have struck my fancy for a project.
first one. 1968 long bed three speed column shift six cylinder. no power brakes or steering. cab is in decent shape, bed is rusted, over all OK shape but certainly nothing beautiful. interior is shot. 750 bucks


second c30 hydraulic dump bed six cylinder three on a tree, dually. little rough, 500 bucks.

my plans are to bagg what ever I get and drop spindles in the front along with bags. Its possible also that the rear will get four linked and either notched or just build a complete back half of the frame similar to what fnlow69 did. feedback is
thanks again
