Get bed rails, hood ornament, grill looks good from here, bumper since it has the horns and rubber strip, and Explorer badges on sides of bed. Tailgate too.

The tailgates were very flimsy back then and would bow in the middle just from stepping on it while open. Bought a brand new '79, and bowed the tailgate right off. I only weighed around 165-170 back then, if that much.

I found myself saying this alot. Just to be contrarian, clearly this truck was rolled, and has been sitting for a while. However, aside from the crushed cab, the rest of this truck might be salvageable. I doubt it, and I can't tell from the pictures, but engine, drivetrain, and electrical might all work just fine. Replace the cab, air up the tires, and this might be a driver.

That was my first thought. These things are getting pretty rare around here and I always cringe when I see what appears to be an easily repairable truck get parted out.

They are all fixable with enough time and money.
