Interior is pretty decent. Front seats have wear but not all falling apart and torn up like you see allot have. Definitely not all slimy, goobered, torn up, pos interior like you see in some trucks/excursions. I will have to go threw with the vacuum but it doesn't look like it will need much scrubbing or a shampoo at all.

I am pretty happy about the deal!

It is in fairly good shape. No dents just a little bit of rust starting under the passenger side tail light and on the drivers side rear door rocker.

The one front wheel lip molding is in better shape than the one on my diesel. I may look into switching them.

Hey, why not! That's what's killing the box on my -250, rust over the wheel wells. I won't fix it, I'll get a clean new take off box, and paint it.

Oh, and undercoat the crap out of it!!LOL

I might fix the rocker because it has a hole. But around the tail light I may just spray with waste oil to kill the rust. Not going to worry to much about it.

I think Nick quit the internet. Isn't he chapter leader or something too?

Good evening Pat! I had to work earlier today. When I got home I finished setting up and filling the rear end in the Comet with fluid and took it out for a test drive. Nice and silent, no more grinding and bad sounds coming from the rear end. Now I just have to address the main seal leak and exhaust leak. But that will have to wait till I get other things going and finished up.
