Newbie needs help regarding '67

[swamp rat]

As long as all the rust repair was done correctly to the cab which i assume is the reason for the primer than yes its a pretty darned good start for a project, especially for a shortbed project. Then again, being a california truck maybe it has had no cancer and was a canadate for just getting painted?

Have you checked to see if the VIN on the frame matches the VIN on the cab? Vin # is behind the driver front wheel on the frame, driver door jamb on the cab. Also verify the SPID on the gloove box door too. Have you checked to see if the frame was cut down behind the cab and shortened? or if its an origional short bed truck?

If it is what it appears to be then i wouldn't want to pay any more than $4000 for it as it is, primer hides the real story, i'd prefer to be less than $4000 so try and talk the seller down, but if you can afford it it is a great starting point.
