nice looking truck
I know the panels in the cargo section are good the previous owner replaced them already and you can see them plain as day as there is no carpet there anymore, but there will be no carpet when I'm done lol

Well today I pretty much just scored this at work (just gotta finalize the details with the owner) (sorry for the crappy pics):



its a 1982 Chevy Custom deluxe C20 the body has seen better days the inner bed is about half rotted out however .... 8 Lug 3/4 ton axles, TH400 Trans, and a fairly fresh 350 make this thing more than worthwhile as a $300 parts vehicle .... I'm also gonna salvage as much interior and body parts as I can as well as any other useful parts I can grab lol

Defiantly, I've been hunting for 8 lug axles and they are going from $300 and up per axle so $300 for the whole truck is cool

here's some pic of the floorboards prior to repair:





trying to get the sheet metal work done and redo some of the patches that were done by the previous owner, actually the floors are worse than the pics depict
