it's a shorty so IMO that almost doubles the going price since that box looked pretty good. atleast a whole lot better than what I had to settle for!
last rust free short box I looked at the guy wanted $1,800 for the box!!
the local "box" guy in my area brought one by for me to look at a couple years ago that was rust free but looked like some one walked up & down it hitting it with a ballpin hammer and he wanted $1,100 for it.
I'm in N.E. and it's getting real hard to find good rust free stuff around here.

I definitely wouldn't go with LMC. They will probably be cheap and thin.

I haven't personally used these, but I've heard good things said about them, plus they're made in USA. Welcome to Tabco

I love this paint scheme. If you decide to go with it, one thing for sure is that you wont see many copies out there. I havent seen but 1 other truck painted this way. But all that matters is that YOU love it!!!!

So the body is going into the shop to get fixed up and primed......

on a side note, I am def. on the obsessed train seeing as I have bought another dent! got this beauty at the 1000 mark. it has a 302 that runs and the bed is in pretty good condition. I am definately a crazy man.....but at least my new dent will only be a lipstick fixer uper!!! a little front end damage and paint with a clean up on the inside!
