Jeff, just to give you an idea I paid $1200 for my 58 GMC fleetside, and had
it on the road in two weeks. There is a 59 Chevy short step in a wrecking
yard here in Phoenix w/o engine and tranny they are asking $1500 and they
can wait till they get it. Two months ago I bought a 58 chev short step in a
basket w/o engine and tranny for $300 with clear title and current tags.
This was from a list member here in Phoenix.
