Great to see you are tearing into it. Can you do me favor and take a close up pic of the DIESEL emblem under the fender badge? 81 is a special year as it was the last year of the Olds diesel and first year of the new body and badge designs. I've never been able to find a picture of what the diesel badge looked like that year.

Thanks!

I don't know if the whole truck has been repainted, I assume it has because it's in way too good of shape to be 40 year old paint I feel...but the condition of this truck continues to surprise me as we dive further in, I keep waiting to find hidden cancer, but nothing as of yet...At the very least, there's been work done to the passenger front fender, but it looks to me minor and a great blend job if it was painted at a different time than the rest of the truck.
