Manuel, I found my 49 Sub in Montana where salt is very sparingly used on the roads. It was all there, running and had rust in the lower back corners. I drove it for 1600 miles before starting a frame off. I paid $3800 and think its the best investment I ever made considering what these things are worth when completed. I would encourage you to go for it. It seems that they are more desireable than a pickup from a money standpoint but Im sure a lot of the Big Bolt, Panel and Pickup guys will disagree with me. Good Luck whatever you decide. Let us know what happens and walcome to the BOLT! Weeds
