57_StepSide,
Very good counter questions. Cash, I have, no more than most but probably better than some. Time, I have, space I have, tools I have, experience and knowledge, some but getting better. I'm almost 40, kids are in college, I have a love for old chevy trucks I cannot explain so I feel that I'm amongst friends here on Stovebolt. I had a 53F100 and didn't have the heart to cut into it to make what I wanted so I sold it as I bought it. My intention with the 61 c10 is to make it what I want. A lower stance, better than stock stopping power, a new engine & tranny with some punch but no big block. I would never offer the 1500 he states he has into it but I figure if I could get it for 800-900, I'd be starting with a frame that is pretty much what I'm shooting for. However, the other parts would be nice but 64 doors don't work on a 61 cab. Who knows, maybe another truck??? I live in Maine so old trucks are rare, nice old trucks are real rare. Trucks from the south are very pricey and thats the way it is up here in the Northeast. I was a bit concerned about the bedsides as well but figured, I would take what I need for mine, see what's left over and go from there if I did buy it. We shall see and I really appreciate the input.
