I texted him some questions and this is the description he gave me of the work the truck needs:

No problem,
Will need windshield
Light are working but will need brake light switch and turn signals connected
Some rust on fire wall, driver rocker And bed need repair ... I have rocker and bed metal for repairs
Front drive line needs built but I have ends
Transfer case shifter and linkage need assembled ....
List could continue but it is at a solid starting point ...
I drove it 20 miles from Salem to Dallas last weekend ... Fuel injection is so awesome in an old truck and that 4l60 kept it at 60 mph at what sounds like around 1500rpm (no tach yet)
The 5.7 vortex has 210lb of compression on all eight
