Re: Possible 1951 purchase with pics

If I were in your shoes, and you don't mind a road trip or 2, out west is gonna be your best bet for finding good trucks with less rust..but be prepared to pay for that luxury..
Fixing rust isnt cheap, paying someone else to fix it is astronomical..
I'm about 20 miles from you so I know whats around here is not the best to pick from..and don't be scared to buy several to build one..
For instance, the bed on mine was a complete rusted disaster..I wound up with all new bed parts for mine...
If money is/was no object , they do make brand new body's for the AD trucks
