Looking forward to learning and i hope i can be at least a little helpful. i finally found a shortbed with very very little rust..thats hard to find in the salty humid air of Florida. body is original, underneath not so much it has 1 ton axles, a beat to crap 700r4 with a ok 208 tc and a fresh rebuilt 350...the guy wouldnt sell it with the good tires and rims so it has some training wheels for now lol
