The PO doesn't really know much about the truck, but he does know engines. I've seen pics of the bed and body and it looks good enough. No rust, straight panels and shiny paint. The bed is all there and usable but I'm sure I'll be putting new wood in it, prabably finished in bed liner (the individual pieces of wood, not the bed as a whole) and refinishing the rails. This is my first foray into owning old iron since I got rid of my mid 60s Chryslers. What tanks those were. I have always been a GM guy and I need a 4X4 so this is the perfect mix. I'll get annoying over the next few years with questions but if you minded the questions, you wouldn't be here wouldja?
