    P.S.
    Buying a car or truck in pieces or missing parts, will cost alot more than buying one intact!
    Just for grins go to LMC truck catalogue or MAC and browse their catalogues for what new seals and gasgets cost, then look at sheet metal! Yikes!
    Like some of the guys have posted times are tough. For 15k, I've seen some 30-40k resto trucks sell lately. Much cheaper to go this route, and fine tune stuff to your likes and needs, than to start from scratch. A good road test with turns and braking should give you a great idea if the suspension stuff was done right!
