That looks like the cover of Classic Trucks compared to Energiesource's rust bucket.
At the least you had sheetmetal. Anyone that would suggest you use it for parting out must be crazy. Most of your stuff that was missing would probably have been stuff you would have wanted to replace anyway.

Thanx BIG CHEVY 3600! YES, MOST SHEET METAL WAS THERE! YOU ARE CORRECT! I HAVE REPLACED DRIVERS DOOR, TAILGATE, RUNNING BOARDS, FRONT BED PANEL, AND DRIVERS REAR FENDER. FUTURE PLANS INCLUDE, REPLACING, BOTH FRONT FENDERS, PASS. FENDER, FLOORS, AND CAB CORNERS. I AM NOT COMPARING IT TO ENERGIESOURCE'S, I WAS SUGGESTING HE PURCHASE IT WITH THE INTENT OF BUILDING / RESTORING IT. AS THE ORIGINAL POST STATED. "DOES THIS HAVE POTENTIAL"! MY RESPONSE. "HELL YES"!
