It was down around Lindsay at an auto body shop. It was in black primer but had been jammed in with Chevy radar blue paint. The interior was all there but was completely disassembled. Also had half ton suspension. It had a tpi 350 out of a camaro or something in it. He was asking 4500 for it and wouldn't come lower than 4200. Seemed to run good but wouldn't shift into third and was over heating. I offered him 3500 and he turned it down. I was glad he didn't take it after I left and had a chance to think about it. The only thing giving the truck it's value IMO was that it had been cut down to a short bed. Otherwise it wouldn't have been worth a grand in the shape it was in. After following all of the CCSB builds on here I am convinced I could just do one myself. I most likely will once I complete this project and just use it for a daily driver.
