Scored me a SUPER clean 77 GMC Sierra Classic Shortbed 4x4 today

I am very excited. I already have the 77 Sierra Classic CCSB two wheel drive but was looking for a 4x4 for the occasional camping trip and every Christmas when we go to Colorado and deal with the snow.
Let me start off by saying I have NO business buying another vehicle until I get rid of a couple. I really need to sell my 85 Shortbed as I will never drive itmbut I just couldn't passthis up. I knew I would never come across this year truck in this condition for $1500 again. I have been watching this truck on CL for the last couple weeks checking in at least once a day hoping it would sell so I didn't have to buy it. My CC need a big brother and I just have a thing for 77 model GMCs.
Now about the truck.
The good:
It has a completely rust free body with original paint. It has sport mirrors, sport rear bumper and nice cab and tailgate trim. Both bumpers are SPOTLESS. There are no cracks at the steering box, no cracks around the door hinges and the rear bedsides have not cracked or broken loose from the inner fenderwells. It also has a posi rear end, built turbo 350 tranny. It also came with a brand new Rancho 4" lift.Has recent dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. All glass is good as well.
The bad/not really very bad
At one point back in the day they had put one of the snap on tonneau covers on it so there are snap holes all across the top of the bed, the hood is kinked and I will have to replace it. No motor as it had a built 383 that the previous owner purchased the truck for and then sold the rest to me. Headers are still there though. It needs tires BAD! The kid that owned it before painted the gauge bezel with fleckstone paint, painted the brake pedal, steering box, and some other misc yellow.
I love this truck and it is exactly what I was looking for even though I have too many vehicles. I don't plan on restoring it. Just cleaning it up nice and using it for a driver. I really have too many projects to do a restore on it at this time and don't want to make it too nice since I make regular trips to the junkyard. Let me know what you guys think!
