I see a lot of basket cases getting brought into California. Swapping cab and frame can get you into a pickle with a VIN officer if they care about continuity; mine did.
People bringing a vehicle into California? I live in the high desert and there is rust free stuff all over the place. The sun beat's the heck out of the interior. But that's usually thrashed anyway. I can't imagine buying a car from the rust belt. That's way too much trouble.

My buddy just gave me a 1970 CST cab. No rust. Nothing. I just have to pick it up. The glass and the doors are good. I got it for free... Well maybe not totally for free. I'll have to bring over some beer. But I can live with that
