I have this 1980 SWB I was planning to use the parts (frame, fuel tanks, rear end) under my 86 LWB to convert it (long beds suck!) but I'm not sure on the frame. It has what appears to be damage although it could have been made this way. Hopefully you guys can help.
Does this look like factory or accident damage?

That is all on the drivers side next to the fuel tank.

This is pass side ahead of fuel tank..

And this is top of frame where it kicks up for rear wheels.. (yes thats the factory paint!)

What do you guys think?
