It looks good, other than you're going to have to unbolt all that crap the previous owner installed. Bug guard, hood emblem, mud flaps, roof visor, running boards, camper. Jeez. Anything left to bolt on? I'm guessing the interior has lots of similar stuff going on. Problem is, when you remove that stuff, you're left with holes and/or glue lots of the time.

So, hopefully by "restored 20 years ago", they don't mean the guy just bought all that crap from pep boys, bolted it on, put in a different motor, and called it a day.

Also, in both pics, I see a farm cat. That can be good and bad. Good, that they eat mice that could infest the truck. Bad, because they can pee inside the truck, have kittens, etc. and cat pee is one of the nastiest smelling things in the world.
