    Nah, too costly and very high maintenance involved,I think the body work has been tampered with as looks abit false for my liking.
    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

    Do you have a shot from the passenger window to help with the decision process?

    Dunno - there are some bends and creases that might need a bit of hand adjusting and finessing and more then a little time spent on a new bed

    that truck will cost too much money to restore. when you have it just as you want it it will see a newer truck with a bigger exhaust and leave you on the side of the road.

    Is that a Power Wag? Bumper definitely needs some hammering and buffing ! As someone mentioned, it would be nice to get a pic from the opposite angle so we could see if the headlamps look ok. Considering the age, it will never be a Daily Driver but for night and weekend cruises it could be a cool project.

    Are the headlamps original or aftermarket?
