Bed looks fixable. The exterior fenders havent gotten real bad yet.

If you don't need the sides just mock up a flatbed & keep the $ invested low.

the legroom is suprisingly good in the back, the front seats arent even close to all the way forward so there is still more room than what the pictures show, if someone is going to do this in the near future they could also notch out the back support bar and gain about 2 extra inches of leg room, i elected not to do this cause its good the way it is for me, and yeah a local junkyard has a flareside box for 250 bucks that im going to look at saturday, so hopefullly it will be all together by next monday

Those pictures were a great response to "bed looks fixable!" That was legitimately funny haha.

Find you a southern bed from the self pull yards.

That floor shifter doesn't look half bad! But that exhuast is why dealing with previous owners' "fixes" are one of the joys of used automobiles . . .
