Removed the rusted out radiator support and fenders. Both inner fenders are in good condition, hood is decent besides smashed corner. I have a good condition radiator support for as 76. Looks like it will work with some small changes and a few new bolt holes. I have a useable bed that needs repair on front floor.

Cab is ruff and needs cab mounts, floors, inner and outer rockers. Fire wall has some rust along pinch welds above cab mounts. The cab mounts on frame are shot also. I have good parts truck frame that can donate a pair. On the positive side roof and drip rails are solid.

Cut the cab mounts off the frame and cleaned up the frame some with needle gun. Also pulled spark plugs and checked condition. Everything looks good, confirmed it is a 360.
