In my recent search I found there are trucks available in all price ranges, from $500 to $30,000. Good sources are the Internet seach engines, local "auto trader" magazines and forums like this one.
Good-Luck.
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

You could have a look in the swap meet section. The folks here are second to none in providing valuable info and guidance on your 'journey'. I certainly wouldn't have got mine (my first) to where it is without them. Good luck on your truck hunt! Jock.

I got lucky with mine. My advice would be to look in the junk yards if you have any around you. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 45 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2009 Posts: 45 | Welcome ben.

The inspiration for this web site was a '39 1/2-ton I did a frame off-resto on when we lived in Indianapolis (I was stationed at Ft. Harrison at the time). There are some great guys in your general area, too.
Speaking of -- HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jordan! Hey -- it's looking like you might share a birthday with our second grandchild -- today could be the day!
Regards and welcome!

Sort out your money and look at pictures in the Stovebolt gallery to see what you think you like best.
There is a forum here for ebay and craiglist that one of our bolters updates and list things of interest to us. You may want to check it out and then go from there. At least it will give yo ua good idea of prices/conditions. And of coarse you can do searches for a distance around your area.
Keep us posted.....and good luck. | | |
