[raymix]

Hehe, and I thought my truck was a waste of time when I decided to entirely restore it.

Man, I wish u good luck, lots parts, and patience !

That truck as been rode hard and put away wet.....

Toys are my game

Not to deflate your baloon but, that reminds me of most of my parts trucks when I get them. You might want to consider something better to start with. Or a real clean 2 wheel drive for a body swap / mix and match.

I didn't know the trashbag tint was an option that year  
Seriously,find a parts truck would be your best best..but you can do it..mine was almost that bad when I started on it,a little less rust though and a lot thinner wallet now..

Boy, oh boy.  I thought Larry the Cable Guy's was bad.  All you need is a window AC unit sticking out the back window.

And i would take that over a new silverado anyday.

After s/he gets done, s/he will still have saved probably $20-30K  vs. a new truck.

am i the only one that doesn't think it's in that bad of shape? give me about a month with it and it could look just as good as most older trucks on the road. yea there may be some other stuff wrong that isn't noticeable by the pic, but judging from the pic it's not in that bad of shape

[Scottsdalenut15]

there was terible rust issues,,,,and lets just say im junking that bed!!!!!the cab is sitting onsawhorses in my garage geting some fresh metal,,,,,the motor is sitting at the machine shop having cam bearings pressed in and the crank is getting polished,,uhhhhhhmy wallet is getting thinner and thinner,,,but im managing i guess.i will update the pics as soon as i can

[ChevyGuy]

Put some huge fender flares and the largest wheels and tires under it and it would be a good off roader.

[Lt.Del]

Sounds like you are working hard on it.  Good luck.
All i have to say is...

Git R Done!!!!

[1976Scottsdale]

You are not doing too badly so far.  I have driven worse.  Junk the bed, like you are doing, then go to

www.rustfreeparts.com

They have everything that you need.

[Nikodemus]

Holy cow... good luck with that. It looks like it's been sitting at the bottom of a lake for 10 years.
