Wiring doesn't look too bad from a quick look, heater hoses were eaten by rodents I'm guessing.

You need a regular bed on it. They look so much better than a flatbed. ...Just sayin'.

It looks like a solid starter, but you'll need some front springs at least. Those have blocks, and only two leaves. I'm thinking they won't like the diesel sitting on them. We can make a new stock spring pack to handle the diesel, or you can get a lift kit if you like the height of it.

Looking good and nice Mile Marker hubs, and yes before you put it on the road and put a diesel in it, ditch the front blocks and those tired ol 2 leaf, leaf springs.

Cruise the Atlas Spring site for the Hd ones, you can get a bolt on set for a pretty good price.

There a few beds up north and a red/white 79 2wd that has a bedside TB and looked real good a while ago.
