Came from Portland Oregon four wheel camper was put on in 1980.
Was still in the original owner family. All I have done to it is put the original seats back in it and a new dash pad and a master cylinder. Has rust on fire wall and left rocker back end has no rust.

That’s crazy! Can’t believe how bent and twisted it is.

Just an FYI, you can recoup so of your money on the twisted frame. People are always looking for spring hangers in good shape, to either replace what they have or convert to 2wd.
