Stupid question

Where would be the places to look for an F150 truck body. What I am trying to find is a cheap truck within these years that would be a restoration project and I am looking for a truck with a good body/frame but doesn't have engine/tranny. Where woud be a good place to look?

yea, pa is a hard place to find rust free trucks, just keep an eye on ebay and craigslist, if your willing to drive south a good distance than you'll prolly have better luck finding a decent truck.
