If you could find an ex fire truck, then an eastern/southern truck is a possibility. My truck was from a fire dept in rural N.Y. originally and did not have terrible rust. Otherwise, as Mike said, it may be well worth it to pay extra for a western truck. Sheet metal is expensive to fix/replace. Engines, etc are easier to find.
