Ok. Here it is. '81 instead of an '80 :dontknow: Oh well, still be fun.

Looks worse than it is. Gotta love dry weather. No rust through that I've found...yet.

Body is pretty straight. Dents in the driver's door near bottom of the window, and at the top of the tailgate. Not really sure where I want to go with it yet. Fist things first is to get it pulled into the shop and gut it. Lots of pics and documentation along the way so I can figure out how to put it back together! So...here goes nothing!

It will be amazing what 4 or 5 hours with a hose and degreaser, and a vacuum will do to something that looks pretty bad. bet there is a jewel under there ! good luck.

Let the fun begin! Looks like it's loaded up pretty nicely.

Welcome aboard, Jake. Setting down in the grass like that I would check the frame for rot.
