Thank you for replying! I am located in upstate New York, Rochester so finding anything usable around here is almost impossible. It's been a minute, 30 years, since i've owned an older truck. First one was a 69 Chevy fleetside long box, but i am now realizing just how popular they are right now. I got this 69 from a friend that I see now was a really good deal so that opens options. How difficult and/or expensive would it be to build one with new parts? I am a pretty competent welder, fabricator, wrencher not a pro but pretty good. I will post pics as soon as I can the truck is in storage about a two hours from me right now should have it by the end of April. Looking forward to more input.
