just the body its bts but i like my bodystyle better
and i like my truck better
im actually getting the truck for 100 bucks and an exhaust job on his new truck
my uncle owns an exhaust shop and i work for him
ill have about 125-150 in the exhaust
so for 250 bucks i get the truck
then ill pull what i want off of it then scrap it and probably get 150 bucks out of the body and frame
i think im going to go with these wheels
what do you think?

Those wheels would look good!
Where are you located? I may be interested in the frame/skeleton pending how far away from NC you are and how much you plan on stripping off. (I'm looking to build a custom rig for my goose neck horse trailer.)

The 250 frame would be longer also which would make it harder for tight trails when wheeling. if you put your swampers to use like i do. and for the tranny tunnel if you can weld and fabricate why not build a custom tunnel

by tall do mean with the straight axle itll give the front a lift or the motor will sit tall under the hood? and the 460 with the straight axle is such a good idea, that was my build plan for when my trucks on its last leg and becomes just a mud runner
