Interesting that it has Type 12 wheels. I did not realize EB's were 5x5.5

I didn't know they were either.

But here's an example of getting into the middle of a project.  Hard to say what you'd run into, but $19K for an EB isn't bad.

Also note that the seller says it sat in the body shop and nobody touched it. Was it a case like Gary's with Dad's truck, or was it a case of nonpayment for services? Reputable body shops don't usually do things like that, so it makes me wonder what kind of body shop it was in, and what kind of body work may have been done to it?

Excellent point!  I know that my guy will work until you run out of money and then roll it back and wait until you get more.  He has a guy's '72 F250 he's doing that with - I know 'cause I'm tracking it since I had one of those new.

Cheap, compared to this:

Yes, it is.  But, you'd know how much it was going to cost from the outset.  Having said that, you could build the $19K one into something you could use.  But the other one is something to show.
