side square body trucks like this in this condition are getting
more rare by the day to obtain.

The cost of parts and restoration of these vehicles are increasing daily. They are not making THEM any more and therefore, they are becoming more rare by the day. Save your time and headaches and money in trying to have one restored. Buy one complete and enjoy your time:)

A real investment that will only appreciate in
Value
