Re: Truck worth it?

The price isn't bad if the body will pass a thorough inspection. The one thing that worries me about buying somebody else's abandoned project is WHY the project was abandoned. I'm always thinking the seller ran into some problem that was going to cost major $ to fix, and naturally he isn't going to tell you what it is. Judging from the pics, you are missing quite a few parts needed to finish the body, so unless the seller is including those with the truck, that can run up the cost pretty fast.

As for the later chassis, the track width isn't going to be a problem if you run stock wheels. Of course if nothing less than foot-wide tires will do, and you want to drag it on the ground, you will need something narrower, like an S-10.
