Well... I have spent some time going through this & whats needed to bring it back to a top notch restoration. I am beginning to think i may be in over my head. It needs a lot of metal replaced or fixed underneath, and might be more than i am able to get into.

I am so disappointed. I've become emotionally attached! & i believe with its good, low production options that this is a great project. It's all original, everything is there, numbers match, etc.
After the original owner passed, apparently it sat in the yard for a couple years, & though its been a daily driver for years now, it needs & deserves more $$ than i want to part with.
It really deserves the TLC required to make it good & has a great back story of the local original purchaser.
I am going to have to make a decision on what to do next.
I'm sorry to hear that...it really is a beautiful truck. What metal needs replacing? Inner body? Frame? Suspension? I think most folks on here would agree with me that the majority of these trucks turned out to require more effort and money than originally expected.
