I feel the truck is in general good condition, when compared to others I have seen.
Some damage to fenders, right running board, passenger door strikes too tight and the inside will be shown once I start cleaning the mouse-mess out.
Initially, I was going to do a total frame rebuild and this is still my goal. stripping everything off and sand-blast the frame & axles, than bring all to spec. with new King Pin, bushings etc.
Initially, I also thought to keep the body with the patina it has now, but my automotive son things 'why not paint it all proper since it is all going to be apart anyway. I am getting to like the idea, cause than the baby is ready for a long time to go.
