Overall, truck is super clean but does need a thing or twelve. Radiator has a small leak in it and I’ll probably throw a tune up at it. Other than that the rest is cosmetic. I’ve tracked down some options for a replacement bed. Need to repair the cab and replace the rear window. Also plan to do some cosmetic clean up of the interior. Once I’ve got the exterior how I want it I’ll throw some paint at it. I’m thinking OEM dark green so I’ve always loved these trucks in that color.

Biggest thing I need is to find someone to sell me a chunk of cab to repair the passenger corner near the window

What's the story on the damage?

And is that mig weld blobbed all over the B pillar in the last pic?

Should be a neat project though.

Apparently ran off the road and into a ditch and the bed met the business end of a tree :lol:

And yes that is mig weld globbed onto the b pillar :happy175: it is awful in person!!! Hahahaha but I do think I’ve got a good lead on fixing that from a feller on gmt400. That is literally the worst part of the truck.

Great platform! Back in the day and even further back in the day I had 2 different gmt400 350 5speed 4x4s. Still 2 of my favorite trucks ever.
Tough as nails, quite comfortable and roomy (compared to squares), last forever and cheap and easy to work on.
Nice find!
