Worked on the '74 today.
Both doors are stripped and in surprisingly good shape. The drivers door shows signs of having been worked on previously.
The cab is stripped of fenders, doors, hinges, seat. . . engine bay lost the brake booster and master cylinder which has been painted gloss black. All hinges were rebuilt and sandblasted.
We had to cut one of the hinge pins to get it out, as it had gotten seriously bent. One thing we ran into, was some of hinge pins we received, had two different knurled profiles under the head of the pin. One had a shoulder and the knurl was straight up and down. The other had a tapered knurl area that was flush with the pin body. If you find that your new hinge pins will NOT go into the bushing that last 1/2 inch. . . it's because of the straight, shouldered knurled design. You need the tapered style.
I had always thought that the passenger fender was aftermarket, due to a bump-n-run (there was a missing hole for the center rubber hood bumper). Well, that suspicion was driven home, as you can see on the cowl. Pretty serious dent. Didn't hurt the heater or affect the door jamb or hinges. Seems it was a pretty concise impact by something. In any event, I will not be repairing that part of the cowl right now, for financial reasons and because it will be out of fight under the fender. Later, funds allowing, I may get if fixed.
The Top Banana sheetmetal has yet to arrive, so it's sand the cab and get it ready for primer.
