Guilty...I need doors (at least bottoms), cab corners, cab floor near front cab mounts, front cab mounts, rockers, bed pieces. But for a 4x4 in the rust belt the price ain't terrible.




My '74 is much much worse w/ spun bearings and beyond hope, so that's why I got the '73 and I'll be learning body work this spring/summer.

The good side.







After new grill, straightening the core support and finding a matching color hood. Drivers fender is still dented and it needs to be painted but its just gonna be a daily driver/trail rider.
