I previously did a frame up on a 71 IIA and never enjoyed it, it was too nice and not what I really wanted. I am looking for an original or driver quality series truck in the northeast. I am located in MA. I can also trade my good running/nice looking 78 MGB towards the right series. Post here or email me grw "take this out" ifa@aim.com . Thanks!

Its a IIA 109 with the pick up top and 3/4 tilt.
Check out Maine Craiglist too, there is a 63 88 on it too.
Thanks for the tip. I was up in Wiscasset for Red's Eats this summer on a road/sailing/boat delivery trip. If you could grab some details I'd be interested.
I emailed the gentleman with the 63 88. He claims original paint and condition with 50k-ish original miles. However he did tell me the trans crossmember is rotted and needs to be replaced. Sounds fishy and a little pricey.
If you're talking about the one at Station House Auto,on Rt 1, just north of Wiscasset, Lime green if I recall, It's real nice, but I'm told by a friend in Union it's pretty priceyQuote:

There is a guy selling a 109 MOD here on RN too, he is in Portland. There are a few around, you just have to look kinda hard.Quote:
