At first I was thinking you meant why is it there with the front fender and cab looking in such great shape.

Was the passenger side caved in?

No it was pretty nice! Doors were pretty solid. Paint was still decent.

The inner fenders were crappy but over all it was nice. Frame looked good too

Cant win em all right? Looks like at some point recently someone spent money on paint so i just assumed it wasnt that bad. Btw, hows that front bumper filler? Im about to tear my front end off to do a swap and mine has seen better days.

I didnt look that close. I did say to myself that if my truck was 80s id be pullin the fenders n doors. The one next to it had BRAND NEW brakes, a caliper and a brake hose but i didnt have enough money to take them.
