Will take some effort but will be worth it.

there were cheap bumpers on ebay last time I needed body parts, you could take a look there for the front.

there are also hydraulic frame repair kits that you can buy if you need to redress some metal, for example in canada we have https://www.princessauto.com/en/10-...ody-and-frame-repair-kit/product/PA0008667834

Was this on CL for $500 or something like that? I think I saw that.

Ah OK. I had another ad I had favorited, but seems it was sold so thought maybe this was the one I saved that was $500. Really cool to see you picked this one up!

Nice find and save. Should be a good project build to follow.

Before I bought my 5-speed I was looking at parts trucks for $2K and under in various states of disrepair - there are several near me.

Besides the obvious missing body panels, what else does it need?

not really much, the front and rear bumpers are trashed but I have a spare front from my other truck and plan to build a custom rear swingout. Other than that, just a lot of neglected maintance.

yeah, not really sure what that will be. looking into a rhino liner style, I've got pretty limited budget so can't do a proper paint job.
