Welcome! Looks like an 85-88 front end. The VIN would tell the tale on that it is. The SPI (service parts identification) label inside the glove box will list all of the options that were original to the truck as well provided no-one has swapped the glove box liner on it.

Doesn't look to be in that bad of shape from the outside. It's hard to tell if the rockers are in good condition. They like to rot out along with the cross-members under the bed floor, especially the rearmost one that supports the bed-sides.

so far it needs new fuel lines, and the guy wanted it off his property so he gave it away. I dont think he knew what was under the hood
