Well, you can definately rebuild it to your liking. Good way to for paint!! Use Zero Rust on all frame and firewall areas.

I've seen worse!....at least you don't have to tear it apart....

bigbuc · 12-28-2012, 01:15 PM

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.
