Thanks for the replies peeps.
I'm from East Kilbride..you?
I'm looking at a 49 chevy on fleabay just now!! i'm thinking stock (ish) would be nice, and probably a 'cheaper' option to start with!!
I'd love a super shiney truck, but the one i'm looking at is ratty as hell and i actually quite like it!!!
basically i'd like it to be solid, good engine/brakes, and worry about the body work at a later date!!
