Actually it included everything except the wiper cowl and the motor/trans but it has shaved door handles and lowering springs and spindles and a flip kit in the back

The body is in great shape, cab corners and rockers look like they were done not to long ago.Hopefully I'll get a motor and trans in it next weekend.

Re: Picked up a new project!

This is how I found it, no wheels included. The bed was full of junk and 3 trash bags full of leaves/bolts/washers. Got it all cleaned out yesterday and the floor is perfect no rust and not one dent. I couldn't believe it.
