buying 4x4 advice

Hi All
I'm looking at a 1970 swb 4x4.300 with a 4 speed. All the sheet metal is shot and need replaced including the cab. It runs good. How rare is it and what do you think it's worth?
Thanks

You don't see a lot of them but rare isn't a word I would use. If it needs a new body, maybe $1000 tops.

If looking to upsize the tire and wheel combo, factor in a power steering kit or a retrofit from a donor 78-79 Bronco/F-150.... about $1000 for the former. The latter depends on resourcefulness- I did my 73's, more or less similar to manual steering Bumps, for about $350 using good JY parts.

4WD shortbeds aren't rare per se... they're hard to buy cuz current owners typically don't wanna sell 'em!

2x with willowbilly on pricing.
