I think for now I will just patch the floor boards with sheet metal and drive it. I want to keep it as close to original look as I can. I too like the blue interior. I do however want to keep it the same color and pin striping. I realy like it!! I know this may take a few years to do but hey that's why they are projects. Lol I want it to look nice yet not be a show truck. Built strong yet still could serve as a daily driver. As for the 80, well I'm not sure what I'll do with it. Use it as a beater or sell it. I know it need a lot of work as well. I will have to decide this spring until then it's research time for both trucks!!!

I will do, It won't be till spring tho. I need to look into all my options and see what is best. I will tell you this. It would be one heck of a project truck. Floor pans, bed, interior, all need work and no drive shaft. it has one now but it is from a s10.

He's got a decent engine and tranny in the truck he has now. I'd have him replace the seals and gaskets in them when he takes them out (just as a precaution), but as far as running and power, they are in good shape. If it weren't for the fact that he tipped it over on to its side in a ditch, the body would be in fair shape too. The floor boards don't have a bit of rust on them, but he damaged the cab and roof when it tipped sideways. He probly won't be ready until Spring too, so shoot me a PM when you are ready.
