Seat fair, has some wear but still firm. no rips. 70s Camaro steering wheel, horn works but has wrong parts in the horn button, so the relay is unplugged for now. Dash and doors were already cut for stereo. Used Blaupunk CD player installed. Cd player only works when it want to. Radio works great. New door speakers. Stereo sound ok, nothing spectacular. Lower door carpet added, mainly to hide rust holes from other panels that were screwed to it in the past. Passenger side interior door rust had been patched. Solid but not pretty. Drivers side still has rust holes in that area. All gauges work, except fuel gauge. Have'nt determined if the gauge or sender or maybe just the resistor. New gauge bezel. Lighter works.

Nicely done. Cab supports, vent boxes are solid. Right front fender solid, has heavy surface rust behind upper trim. Left front fender has rust in the front and rear.

All rust spots I have tied to picture. Core support solid below battery, a little rusty on the drivers side. Aftermarket tail gate. New rear bumper and brackets. Grill shell has normal dings and scrapes. Inner has a broken slat. Front chrome bumper, fair. all lights work as they should, brakes work as they should. New battery also.This truck was built as a driver. It has been driven everyday since Nov. 2016 with no problems. I believe the carb is too fat especially at this elevation. Solid truck, no rattles.
