To buy or Not to buy?

I found a 80s 4X4 460 5 speed long bed rollover the cab is a waste. I can get this cheap as for a 4x4 go. I can still drive the truck as is on the trail but not the road.

I would want to put a 73 to 79 cab on the truck. I can find 73-79 trucks 2wd all day long cheap, but 4x4 are high. Do you think the cabs will match?

That depends...how many projects are you working on all at once? I can't even keep one going.

I keep forgetting to let you know when I am coming through there. I was a week and half ago. LOL

I was in nixa a month ago.
