You could probably flip that truck for a fast grand on eBay.
The 1 ton trucks with factory beds and fenders are scarce as hens teeth. If the rear fenders are mostly straight and rot free, there's $350 to $400 right there, my man.
Front & Rear fenders, hood, door, cab, just about everything but the bed sides are direct swappable with 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton trucks.
It's free. If you've got the extra room in your lawn, you'd be nuts not to take it.
