Hello, I am 21 years old, work in a bodyshop and am looking to buy a 50s chevy pickup to chop up after I buy a house. I don't know a lot about hot rodding yet but am starting to get more addicted to the hobby
How much would I be looking at paying for a decently rust free 47-54 pickup? I dont even know the ballpark on this one... I was thinking maybey 1-2k for one with little rot? I am in ohio now so I realize a non rotten one is hard to come by so a roadtrip might be in order. Also any way to find these things online? ebay seems to only have completed rods and old parts
I was planning on buying the s10 frame kit so I can use newer suspension parts and make it easier for my first build. Also I am in the process of moding my 98 s10 complete with 4 link, airride, frenched caddy's,rollpan, shaved doors etc.. so i'm on my way with bodyworking skills and am familiar with the s10 suspension already....lol now i'm rambling again....
Thanks in advance guys,
Adam
