The body was in really bad shape but then after looking at every thing else this was not a big surprise.
As a matter of fact a good friend commented that I shouldn't have even bothered picking the truck up.
But to me, this was necessary and actually a really good find. There is some rust but then that is to be
expected. The roof of the cab has a hole or two from no telling what and I caved in the tail gate trying to
load this monster on the trailer with 4 flats and it settled in the sand in Argyle Tx. by my self! I also
know that with all those and more, problems this would be a worth while project. I had lots of time to
dwell on this because I was already in the process of "restification" and Customizing my 1980 El
Camino Super Sport. So, I could look at it from time to time and then look around at other's of the same
year to get some really great ideas on its resurrection.
