But if you just want a rig to run around in then a pick up will do as good a job as any rig.

One other consideration is that I know a 1929 pick up does not have much room in the cab to put a bunch of big feet and legs in it. I am not sure what a 1931 has as far as room. Of course this is only a consideration if have the big feet and bod.

So just a couple of comments. Have fun with your project. Like mentioned above, buy it if you want to put in the effort and money into it.
From reading the 30/31 were larger then the 28/29. How much... I do not know. As for the term "cruiser" I mean an around the town (read "slow") toy. Classic and the opposite of fast. I have other fast cars if that is what I want that day. I want just something I can jump in and toot around town in.
