Re: Was this worth $300 that I paid ??

I'd say no, not a deal at all. I wouldn't have given more than $299, but it was your money/your decision. Nothing anyone can do about it now.

Heckya! Guys are asking more than that for just the frame and you got a little more than that! Doesn't look like you reallyneeded anything else, but for a guy with a totally from parts ground-up build (like me) that would provide all the little incidentals that individually would cost a good bit used and take all kinds of time to gather.

As far as getting a lot of attention everywhere you go, I don't know why you wouldn't have already been getting that with the truck as it is (talking about your longbed, not the parts truck). You have a very fine example of one of the finest trucks every produced, and a Sierra grande to boot! It's actually a shame to see it lose it's originality after all these years and being so nice. But I totally understand and this will be a very easy way to end up with a not so often seen SWB Sierra Grande... thought not authentic
