Found a truck
I found a 68 Chevy longbed yesterday that is for sale. This truck is a 1/2 ton, 2wd with a 307 motor and 350 turbo trans. Stainless steel dual exaust. Motor is pretty fresh. I haven't drove it yet but I heard it run yesterday. The body is in alright shape. The rockers and cab corners need replaced, which he already has but hadn't had time to put them on. Everything seems to work on it from the lights to the guages including a aftermarket tach. He is wanting $1,800 for it. I know I have seen some posting on this site about the window frames being rusted out and if that is the case they are pretty much unrepairable. I don't know how to tell. They don't look that bad, but I am in no way an expert. If I can get some pictures would you guys be able to tell?

I have seen trucks wih rust around the frames of the rear window and windshield, you might be able to tell by prying up the weatherstipping (if it doesn't have the chrome insert) around the windows and see what it looks like. Fortunately I caught the rust in mine early and was able to fix it, Sorry it's about the only thing I don't have pictures of.
Be cautious about known rust in the rockers and cab corners, as often times the cancer seems to go much further than the eye can initially see... ie. cab supports, inner rockers, A and B posts etc. All the parts are available, but you may have a bigger project than what meets the eye. Hope it helps... -Chris
