Guess I'll finally post - searching for CCSB!

[mikev]

Um, hi. I'm Mike.

Yes, I know there were never CCSBs made. I grew up driving my Dad's 86 regular cab shortbed, and I always said if I had the chance I would love to have another one of my own. With a family of 4 the regular cab isn't exactly practical though, and after seeing the short bed crew cabs my mind was made up fairly quickly. I've been lurking here for awhile now and finally am getting serious about finding a square body to make my own.

I've been scouring searchtempest looking for the right crew cab to start with. Ideally I'd like to find a 73-75 (no smog!) 2 wheel drive SRW that doesn't need much bodywork.

The closest I've found so far is a 1991. 350, 2wd, auto, SRW, but the paint is in pretty bad shape. I've yet to find a 73-75 that isn't a dually, and the one that I found that was in nice condition had a 6.2 diesel and TH400 swap. It's interesting, but I don't know a thing about diesels -- I guess the mileage would be improved over a small block in a 1-ton though, huh?

Anyway I hope to have something relatively soon so that I can start a build thread of my own.
