Pretty damn good deal. I've heard of guys paying $800-1200 just for those chrome spears. Crazy to me but I guess they're rare as hen's teeth and not reproduced(?).

If it's not a rust bucket someone here oughta swoop in on it.

Re: SWB BBW patina anyone?

Looks as rusty as the big window 57 GMC I sold a couple of years ago and had a hard time getting 300 bucks out of. That was before rust and deterioration became a good thing though.

But if a guy wanted to build a big window shortbox fleetside it looks like a good starting point especially with a clear Arizona title. The rust can be media blasted off and it can be made into a presentable truck pretty easily.

WOW! I had no idea the fender spears/missles were so rare. I picked up an extra set or two for my project. I thought the hood emblem was much harder to get. I scored an NOS non V8 hood emblem for $150 on fleabay.
