Yeah, it had sat there for over a year when that pic was taken, some of the stain is probably brake fluid, it had a broken line, hence the long stay in that spot.

JohnC, good luck in your quest to find a decent one, Make sure you do some research here to find out the inherent problems these can have. Check the cab mounts good for rot, etc. If you start with a solid body you can build the heck out of it.

Yeah I had a 84 Chevy SWB. Looked just like McSwine's, well not as nice. When I sold it the cab corners were just starting to show rust, and the front sides of the rear fender well had some surface rust starting. If I didn't need the money at the time I wouldn't have sold it. You know how tough times call for tough measures! Right after I sold it they guy put a new crate motor in it, and brought it by. Sounded awesome, then he ran through a fence, and scratched it all up, and bent one of the rims. He came in a few months ago, and said he was doing something to it again, but I can't remember what it was.

Oh Baby the Camaro is sold so the search is on!!!!!

Thanks. I've got my eye on a couple here locally, and one in KS City, but need more funding for that one.
