Easy JOAT! No need to get picky, I know what I have! If I have enough
scrap, I just might do it in steel. Or sell it for a different model (
something from 1947-1954.)
No picky. Car car. Truck truck. No same. Sell? Where at?
Cheap?
You should be able to get used steel tubing quite inexpensively. I
would prefer it - I'd never restore "anything" to 100% original, I'd
want to use it, not look at it - not hard to put in, stronger than wood,
won't rot. You could possibly trade it, and get a better deal then
selling. Maybe.

If it ain't broke, don't lend it.

Hey JT,
I'm in So Cal. I would probably let it go for a couple grand. If I
had the latest pics, it would show the front and rear springs cleaned up
and installed, the front axle installed and I'm currently working on the
Camaro 10 bolt in the rear. Ok, well some of the pics do show some of
that stuff. Time to dig out the sand blaster, clean the cowl and prime
it. Everything is getting a two part epoxy. I'm also just about to set
up the V8 mounts and 700R4 mount. I still have the original honeycomb
radiator and a lightbar is in the mail. If you really are interested, I
can get more pics posted. Trucks are great, but with a wife and two
kids, I need something with more seats! Not sure how much freight would
be. I would probably crate most of it up and strap it to a pallet.
You're still using pallets, aren't you? I'll try to find some with
decent grain and minimal knots. ( The icing on the cake!)
