Paint is mostly original, the doors re sprayed when the elephant ear tow mirrors were removed.

There is a dent in the passenger rocker panel and a scrape on the lower portion of the bed on the passenger side as well.

Other than those two items there is only typical dings for a truck of this vintage.

This truck isNOT rusty, there are small spots that are starting to bubble in the paint along the rocker and in the bed side but these are very minor and a testament to the fact that this truck is a survivor. your not going to find any surprises, the undercarriage and frame are in excellent shape and the floor pans are solid as well.

The truck has the more attractive early style grille and emblem and a sheet metal period style air dam.

Color matched bed liner.
