I have seen the truck and it is all in pieces......the metal appears to be pretty much rust free and the fibreglass bed sides are really clean except for around the wheelwells where there is evidence of patching with more fibreglass. It comes with a 58 Stepside truck for parts; 2 engines; 1 tranny and the original frame (will need to verify VIN # to be sure), box; 2 sets of doors and all new glass. The previous owner had it on the road/took it all apart and then sadly passed away. Thanks again for all the great photos and details of your 59 build!

Sorry for the tardy response! Thanks for the kind words!
I didn't restore it like the 59, but did do a lot of mechanical work on it to get it back on the road.
