Talking there ain't nothing wrong with the radio

you got your work cut out for ya.you might have a hard time popping the hood right now,but before long,you'll be doing it blind folded.
ripping that bed right off there,and building a wooden flat bed will do the trick for that.front fenders don't look bad at all.very repairable it looks like.mine were trashed.
good luck!

She dont look that bad, should have seen my 84 after the wreck...ther is a picture of it on here...but give her some love and she will love you back, you got a C6 in that bad boy which is a damn near indestructable transmission, but you will hate the fuel economy you get with it.

It was an option on those to have a tach, the non tach ones look like it's there, but with a missing needle.

So yours probably doesn't have the tach option.



And if you want a truck that rides like a Lincoln, don't replace the shocks

Still regret replacing the original ones on my F150 last year, rode just like a big fat Lincoln, nice smooth and bouncy, loved it


Nice truck though, you've got some work to do, but you'll see these things are real easy to work on, and get going.
