I sold the body and frame only, I kept all suspension, motor and trans. New owner was suppose to come up with all his own replacements, after a year if holding the truck he couldn't come up with axles or springs so I found those here for him. He showed up on a Saturday night about 9 pm and we had the truck rolling again and on his trailer by about 2am. That was the last I saw of it till now.
The bodywork was holding up good on the old truck, only thing I would have done if I would have kept it was redo the frame from the crossmember section they spliced in.

That thing was by far the best riding and handling truck I've ever owned! Felt more like my Freightliner than it did an old truck!
