Howdy all

I'd like to say a big thank you for letting me join this forum. There a bunch of dang nice trucks on here. First off I've never restored or come close to evening trying to restore a truck or any thing for that matter. But I've always loved the Chevy truck of the 40s. Well I have the chance to pick one up. The fella wants 400 plus I have 40 sheets of 3/8 cabinet grade plywood he wants. I got the plywood for nothing from another fella so I don't have any money in the wood. He says the truck is a 41 heavy half he has all the parts for it except the gas tank and radiator and the engine will run. This trucks running boards only run to the back of the cab. Why is this.
So I couple of ?'s I have for you fine folks
Does the running boards being short mean this is a certain model and can I put longer running boards on this truck.
Is it worth 400 bucks as is. I'll try and add pictures. So I don't think I can do pics.
Thanks for any help y'all
Mike
