Hey guys! Finally back on here with some crappy news! After almost 2 yrs of waiting for more pics of the frame, I just was advised the "original" frame that the current owner's ex-husband has was thrown out and taken to a salvage yard/crushed AND that it was NOT likely the original frame to begin with. So.....now I am back to square one! For sale is a bunch of supposed 55 Cameo body parts that are virtually rust free incuding cab/doors (4)/box; hood and fibreglass rear fenders; 2 engines; 1 tranny; all new glass in boxes; and a 58 Chev stepside truck that is solid/restorable with what appears to be original engine (although I am not 100% sure). The owner says she has the title for the 55 and can get one or some document for the 58 that will allow me to register it/put insurance on it in Canada.
Her asking price is $5500 US for everythng. Would you bite? Being new to this, what is a reasonable cost to build a truck like this for me if I had to pay someone to do most of it? (my friend just spent $30K on his 64 Impala SS for body/paint and now is looking at upgrading the running gear!)
