Interior. I may boxliner the inside or not, haven't decided. Seats need redone. The rear cover for sure, not sure about the foam yet. Fronts will do new foam and replace those LMC covers the PO put on with a set from Truckseats forum member. Radio and speaker back to stock (thankfully the dash isn't cut). I haven't decided 100% on the gauges yet whether to restore or use some updated package. Had vintage air at one time over the years so I have to weld and shave the dash where the vents were. Same with the speaker holes in the doors. Most of the body work is filling screw holes, etc. For the most part it should just be refurbish what I have.

Thanks I had always thought it was very solid but sometimes you never know 100% for sure till you get that paint off. The only thing I didn't know about was the rh rear box side repair but I've since got the mud out and it was just a dent. There isn't any rust. Looks like it was done many years ago. The guy I bought it from only had the truck for 3 years and bought it from the estate of the original owner. I don't think he know about it either. All the other issues he pointed out to me when I first looked at it. I'll get it pulled and smoothed a lot better now.
