Good to see another long bed or longer bed goin' under the knife.

Good luck on her (the truck)

it may have some rust, but that looks to be a pretty straight truck there.

Looks outstanding. That mettalic green is really nice when freshened up...one of my favorite colors.

longhorn71 · 05-05-2005, 11:28 PM

it has been under the knife for the last year(unheated shop it was in and
-40F last winter slowed it down)the driver side rocker and floor have been changed the front fender on the driver side was swaped for a rust free one.Over all the body is straight but not over rusty for here.The tailgate spent 99% of its life in the shop because of the 11.5foot camper that was on it.her dad bought the truck from the orignal owner in 1983.
