I figure its gonna cost me minimum 10 000$ just in parts,engine need to be rebuild,tranny ect ect ect.

But i came across this truck.



The guy is asking 6500$ for it,70 chevy step side short box,all original,paint was done 10 years ago(57 blue).Im not sure on the color but this can be change.So now im thinking What to do,this truck will be a better to start a project and i could swap the disk from my 72 and convert it to 5 lugs also.(70 is 6 lugs).The plan is to drop it 4.5"-6" static with coils and drop spindles.

What you guys thinks???
