Not sure of the history, bought it off eBay, was up in Oklahoma.It has about 3 coats of paint on it, very little bondo that I have found. The body is actually pretty straight, may replace one front fender. Other than that, there is minimal rust-thru, mainly areas in the floorboards and bottom of cowl area. The cab corners are very solid. Most of the rust is surface rust, just got done taking off the doors, have the inside of one stripped and primed as of today. Doesn't run yet, hope to pull the front end off next winter, have the engine rebuilt,and tranny checked out.. Hoping to start on the inside of the cab this early spring, time permitting. Mike
