Hi everyone,
I purchased an 87' longbox dually crew cab last year. She's getting some rust and I contacted a couple local body shops for some tips and recommendations. The main recommendation is to ditch the truck for a Texas truck and start from scratch. I'm not opposed to the idea, but I'd like to receive a recommendation from someone who might deal strictly with classic vehicles. The first body shop I contacted didn't want to work on anything that old =-)
She's a sharp looking truck. The frame does have some rusting issues, and the cab has been worked on a few times. Maybe it's a pain in the butt to work on a truck that's already been worked on? I don't mind buying new fenders and having the cab repaired.
Anyone have recommendations on an approach? I'm located in lower Michigan.
Thank you,
Mitch
