First time doing a restoration and I've got champagne expectations and beer money. But this truck has a
good body to start with. I'm wanting to keep it as close to original as possible. Except for the running boards and bug shield that grabs my shirt every time I walk by it.

I have tires and wheels on it off a early 90's 1500.I'm still working on getting it running as it has been in a building setting up several years.This is the way it came in to our yard.

Welcome, nice truck. I agree with you on bug shields and running boards. You will love it here and find all the answers if you have a little patience. Very knowledgeable and helpful members and even a few that are attracted to body functions and liberal politicians.

Welcome!
You reminded me of something my Mother used to tell me.
"You've got champagne taste and a beer budget".
I had to smile.

Awesome looking body to start with.

FWIW you ever decide to loose that bug shield or the running boards put it up for sale here. I know they've been sought after in the past.
The bug shield is NLA for sure. The running boards are getting tough to find.
