i believe an m40 is a turbo 400. thats a good price for a rust free shortbed.if you really want it.i'd offer him 1500.see what he says.

If I came across a rust free 77 Bonanza at that price , this thread would read "Look what I just Bought." Frank

I have about 10" of drop. I have 3" DJM Spindles and bags up front, and the rear is flipped with a DJM kit, and all but 2 leaves are removed from the spring pack. I have bags over the leaves.

Re: looking at a 77 SWB Bonaza

Make sure to pull up the carpet and check the floorboards! Also my 77 bonanza had the cab supports rusted and busted and the rest of the cab looked good.
