Asking for your opinion...on buying a 1970 Jimmy

Here is the run down...(taken from the previous owner's description - not mine)

BODY
Has been painted once
Floors and rear wheel wells are excellent originals with no rot
Needs front fenders (used cost approx. $100 each)
Right front wheel well is rotted under battery (used: $75)
Needs doors (used: $100 – 125 each)
Needs tailgate (used: $150)
Needs panel over windshield (LMC Truck $100)
Bumpers, grille and glass are nice
Has some rust around rear wheel openings
Left front rocker was installed when I got the truck
Right front rocker (shown in photo) goes with truck for you to install

INTERIOR
Has all original upholstery
Dash pad is cracked
Needs seat covers and door panels (LMC Truck kit $300)
Has Kenwood AM/FM cassette
Has aftermarket tach
All gauges, heater and wipers work good

ENGINE & TRANS
Has built 350
Has Crane 290 cam and lifters
Has aluma-coated headers and full dual exhaust
Has Edelbrock carb and intake
Has H.E.I. distributor and Accell Super Coil
I gave it a full tune-up and oil change
I installed new thermostat and flushed cooling system
Has new belts
Has top loader 4 speed transmission
Has new Interstate battery

DRIVE TRAIN
Has 205 Gear drive transfer case
Has 12 bolt rears
I installed new brakes and wheel cylinders all way around
I installed new master cylinder and changed to DOT 5 fluid
Has new 235/75R15 white letter tires on blasted and painted original wheels
Has original hub caps

SUMMARY
I have worked on this truck to get it mechanically excellent to drive. It runs great; all lights, wipers, etc. work fine and the 4WD will tear a house down. It is not a show truck (see photos) but has a lot of potential.

END Previous Owner's description**

I am going to check it out over this weekend - what are your thoughts...

How tough is it to find used doors, fenders, and a used tailgate...(in somewhat decent shape)? I also see that Goodmark now also stocks the ''over the windshield' repair piece for ~$100 (Goodmark part #4143-495-672) - anybody done this yet? Good or bad experience?
