Poor thing, at least its been used well. We don't get much here in as but if you're handy with a welder, lmc sells all sorts of patch panels

Check your cab mounts, that's why I had to sell my truck.
I don't have all the pictures anymore but it was bad.

Cab mounts are surprisingly solid, firewall is gone, when I pulled the air box a couple years ago to replace heater core the firewall came with it, had to rig up a sheet of aluminum to have something to attach it back too.

That's an awesome farm truck. I like it.

No restoring this old beast I'm afraid, still gets used on a daily basis and has been since new. It's only features are heat and power steering, cheap truck. Grandpa said he didn't need a radio and didn't like automatics. Here is a picture of the bullet hole he shot in the fender a few months after he bought it. Those wheels a d tires are mine, needed a set you could actually drive on the road, old bias ply good years and 16.5 wagon wheels were a bit shady.

I wish I could can the smell of that old truck and sell it. It smells inside exactly how it looks, like a 40 year old truck owned by a greasy tractor mechanic who chewed to many packs of redman.

One engine over haul it's entire life, 4spd was redone at one point because it started to jump out of 4th. Steering column broke, so a column out of a s10 was put in.

I knew that was an s10 steering wheel. My s10 had the same one.

I think it's the Cardinal red squares that rust the worst.

Heres some of my rust. Truck is too low for me to get under to photograph the rest. The last one is the support goin from the body mount to the inner rocker. Drivers floor.

As my friend says, "It's not rust its weight reduction!"
