Basket case, what do I look for? New to the hobby.

Jim you mentioned you wanted a "cruiser". I am a little dense about car terms but if you meant a rig that you could put a number of people in and cruise around in it, then as you realize a pickup does not do a very good job in that area. 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.
