Opinions Requested: What to build first... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

We have 2 65 Trucks.

We have this one:

It needs some minor body work, and I despise the wheels

And we have this one:

This one we originally were going to make 4x4 then we changed our minds. It is fully disassembled and needs alot more body work than the other.

Both will be laying frame eventually. The white one runs and drives as is however would be quicker to complete. The other would take longer to complete however we would have the white one to tool around town with.

Parts for one will be coming soon so I would figure I would ask opinions for some pros and cons for going either way.

Thanks in advance for your opinions.
