Re: $400 for s10 chassis?

ipguy, the longbeds seem to be harder to find, and are what we need for the swap. but a shortbed would work too, just make the box shorter. I've seen a few of those and I actually think they look cool. I'm goin with the original (OG) frame on my next build. I want to start using them and collecting them, so they don't go to the scrap. Plus I think it ads value and character to the truck, even if/when modified.

To all the others, I'm not trying to get on a scrap subject, but I just feel very strongly about it. I mean it hurts us in sooo many ways. That is why I'd rather donate or leave stuff sit than to go make a couple hundred bucks and wait in line and see all these parasites scrapping their grandmas tupperware. I recycle everything I can, but metals I keep for a rainy day. I mean why scrap all this old nostalgic stuff, when it just gets melted down an shipped to china to make worthless ikea furniture and new crappy modern cars that get totaled if you hit a curb.

cash for clunkers and scrappers are making everything so much harder and driving up prices and they are just taking all our resources and soon there will be not many options for us, which seems like the case already.
