should I buy another truck to restore the frame suspension?

[oldblue1968chevy]

found 2 67-72's down the road from me...

1-1969-1970 lwb chevy pretty much comeplete outside of motor, 3 spd. bottom of the line truck, has coil springs 6 lug big dent in cab
2-1967 gmc
leaf springs lwb 250ci inline 6 3 spd 6 lug missing bed lots of patina lol

kinda looking for a truck to do a 'frame off' (drive my 68, pull off sheetmetal and restore a frame suspension drivetrain for my 68 sheetmetal)

I could get either truck for id say 100$ (he says hes gonna haul em off for scrap lol) only thing is I dunno if he's got or can find the titles.....

Im 17 still in school, would be a fun experience since i cant tear down my dd because its my dd lol. put new bushings in everything clean it up new brake lines brakes disc brakes some drop spindles lowring springs rear gas tank etc...then throw my sheetmetal on it eventually...

EDIT: New cab bed rubber mounts also lol
por 15 on the frame
new bushings bearings gaskets brake shoes balljoints

everything to make a stock, rolling frame would $1000 do it?

I wanna make a clean reliable DD eventually...am i stupid to think this?

Dad even thinks it'd be fun but still thinks i should just buy a new truck and not waste my time making an older truck 'like new'.

Gonna talk to the old fella again maybe this weekend..take another look

Id LOVE to have the gmc but i really wanna have coil springs (ease of lowering and there different) and the front clips are cool!

ok, lets hear it!
