ok-guess i'll go check it out. while i was in the neighborhood i talked to a guy who GAVE me a 48 1 1/2 ton. it's pretty well shot except for a piece that's on the front bumper that looks like a grill guard. it's chrome and not in too bad a shape. it also has good trim around the windows--looks like aluminum or stainless. will torch the rest i suppose. except for the wrap around windows in the back of the cab. when i do all this stuff i think i'll post things here on the bolt before i think about e-bay. you guys ought to do the private message thing when i post i have the trucks at home. better we help each other out on this wesite i figure, than to go to strangers. i'll have to check the rules, because i'll probably just let things go to the highest bidder on the stovebolt page. as long as i do lose money, i could care.

thanks for the input.
