Thanks for the kind words. It hadn't occurred to me to do the serial number inquiries in the engine discussion (and I did just that.).

Yes, it is pretty solid but has some minor body issues. It was probably dinged moving it around the barn these many years. Fortunately the barn sits behind a custom sheet metal shop where I tig welded kitchen equipment for many years and where I remain in good standing. I have the use of shop equipment to some extent. And thanks for the invitation to KC. I had planned on heading out there to pickup a repro tailgate and bed parts. It looks like I will be able to kill two birds as they say. Thanks again, Jeff
