Shopping Pickups -- what to look for?

Well ...... it's good to see that your covering your bases. Being a person FROM the boston are you'll most likely have to deal with the rust issue if the vehicle was driven - but you knew that.

Try craig's list & as check the HAMB. I know - the hamb can be a bitch but I found my 46 ford cpe. in the classified section. Car came out of Ks. & was rust free - really!! Just like the seller said. Not bad for 50+ yr. old car.

Also try www.mautofied.com & hemmings.

Good luck.

Too bad about the 38, but there are others out there.

We used to have a 48 chevy 5 window...just a six cylinder but we put cragars on it anyway!

Keep searching the net and be ready to travel!!! We drove up to Friendsville, TN from Floriday to pick ours up!!

The internet does have some diamonds in the rough.:toocool:
