thanks alot for the advice tedy. i got a little jumpy on asking for ya'll to look at it. right after i made my post i saw how long it had been sitting there and i know things dont usually last that long unless there is something wrong. i told him i would like more info on all the rust and why the bed looks like it is touching the cab on one side and not on the other. could be a bent or warped frame or something or maybe just a warped bed. but i cant go look at it. so i told him to sell it to whoever gives him a good offer and if he still has it when i get home i might come look at it. and i would not committ myself to a truck until i had it checked out by someone or myself and of course not before i ran it across my Bolter buddies. i will just gather the info i have gotten and will get about axles, trannies, bodies, so on and so forth. there is a wealth of knowledge that i intend to use on this site. you guys have been massive amounts of learning help so far. it is awesome. i wont buy anything until i get home. i have gotten most of the list i need and have saved all the replies that have any kind of info about parts and such into a file so i dont have to reask questions. now i am back at the same juncture i came from. stuck in iraq with no way to go after the thing i wanna start building. LOL. but at least now i know some of the things i can and cant use and will and will not need. Thanks guys. i will check Stovebolt everyday but i think for the moment most of my questions are answered. when i get the truck i know i will want to modify it to fuel injected(personal preference). and put an A/C in it. but anywho. that comes much later. thanks for the advice guys. especially bill, scott, bear and tedy. thanks muchly. i will keep in touch!
