sorry Robert I disagree as the major parts are there....the chassis, spare wheel mount and rear body. The rest is mainly the same as the more common LWB 353 GMC CCKW. Does he have the large behind cab fuel tank?

Cliff, looks like he already has another 352. Look in the background of the 2nd. photo. There is a more complete 352 there, complete with the fuel tank.
regards Rick.

Default Wow!!!
If this one turns out even half as good as the Dodge, it will be fabulous.
