Welcome from California!

Hey, $500 isn't bad for a truck.  I'd buy it.  If you aren't handy with a welder, you can find someone to do that for you, if you can find some donor metal for that pillar.

OK, more pictures.  Went back to look again today and see what battery I'm going to need (terminal placement...etc) and took a few more pictures.  

Here is the above mentioned rot on the drivers side rocker.  Contrast this with the fairly solid one above for the passenger side:


Drivers side with the rot on the rocker:


Still, in spite of all the cancer, I'm looking forward to getting it home.  Really, just a matter of them cleaning out the bed.  Even the Tag/License place is here in town.  Soon, will be posting in the "project" thread.  Initial plans are to clean it as best I can, (obviously), take a good solid (pun intended) as to how bad the cancer is, and then going to have to make a decision if it's worth saving this cab or not.  Right now, leaning towards replacing it, but until that happens, I still want something to drive around here with on my days off without any lengthy road-trips.  One of the first stops will be the local junkyard for a window regulator for the drivers side.

Seems that I can get some donor metal from a fellow member here, and just might have to take them up on the offer.  However, gonna have to find someone local to do the welding though. 

Just noticed that you're in Jackson.  I had an ex girlfriend that lives/lived just up the road a few miles past Volcano.  Been to Jackson more than a few times, but been a long time.  Beautiful country there!  Is Gold Rush Pizza still there??
