I blame myself for not protecting it better over the years. I was deployed a lot in my Navy career and should have known living on an Island what the air around here would have done. Well....I think I am coming to grips that she's toast and to start looking for a donor. I do have the original seat. I will keep the original back window and drivers door window, steering wheel and column and complete dash assembly. I'll save whatever I can. The driver's door may even be salvageable. The spotlight and CB antenna have been on it since 1973 and every time I see that combo it reminds me of him, so I may just transfer that look over to the new one. The inside of the cab had a very distinctive sound from the antenna as we went down the road...
Thank you very much for the sounding board on this. I'm not afraid of work, but I do not have an unlimited budget either. Should I also cut out the areas of the firewall that have the A/C holes in them and save them in case the donor does not have A/C?
