The bed boards and strips are completely gone....Piece of plywood there instead. No problem, that's my cabinet shop carport it's sitting under....And there is a sawmill right down the road. I found bed board dimensions on the net already. I figure oiled red oak will look good in there with stainless strips and bolts.
There are NO dents in the bed or tailgate. No rust anywhere except on bottom of brake master cylinder. One small dent on top of passenger side of hood that you can see in the first pic. All grill and trim is dent free. Slight surface rust on grill around headlights. One slight dent in pass side rear fender that was bondo'ed 1/16" You can see it in first pic too.
Dash pad is cracked and curled at ends. Factory radio missing, but absolutely nothing else is missing. No one has made even one splice in wiring. 140K original miles.
New battery was sitting in bed. I've got it on charger now.
Door window rubbers/weather stripping is shot. Passenger side inside door lock is not working. No rust on cab supports. Doors don't sag.
Has stupid looking wing mirrors-needs stock mirrors. (OOOPPPS, I lied, stock mirrors are missing)
My plans for this truck is frame-off restow with street rod theme. Considering late model step side bed, and selling original bed. Upgrade to discs and lowering front/rear a few inches. Crate motor to only 300 HP and rebuild the tranny. No butchering except bed swap. Replacement wiring harness. Tilt steering swap. Custom grill and new chrome front bumper, chrome rear bumper or roll pan.
Once I get the new rubber stuff and strip it down, I'll give it to the body shop for full paint inside and out.
