Not a bad deal for $300. The body looks pretty straight on it.

no rust that i can find but theres alot of plastic trim on it. i was able to mount my fog lights my inlaws got me for Christmas. the headligjts look very bright but seem to not light up the road very well at all. lots of pot holes here in metro detroit hard to swerve what you cant see. ill pst pics after work.

Looks like a fantastic deal for $300. Paint on the body looks great, plenty of new parts. I will be watching this build. Congrats on your new Jimmy!

I grabbed a set of LEDs off of Amazon for like $40. It does help a lot.
