I have a 51 chevy 3600 that I have owned for about 15 years. Decided it was finally time to start doing something with it. The truck itself is all there but it is in great need of body repair. I know that the outer cowl, inner cowl, inner to outer cowl, and front of floor for both sides needs replaced. The sheetmetal alone will run over $500 not including the labor (probably my own). The box will also need a lot of metal work as well. My question is: Is it really worth putting all that $'s and time into the body of this truck or could I possibly find a cab and box needing much less work for a good price? I live in upstate NY, so clean rust free trucks are few and far between. I looked at a cab at the spring Carlisle event this week, the guy wanted $2500!!!! So what do you guys think, fix it or dump it? Thanks!
