if you get time post up some pics of how things look. if youve never had one of these just look online at what repair parts are available and then check your truck for those spots to ensure it is actrually solid. sandblasting or media blasting would also give you a good idea but then you gotta do something with it. sometimes a great looking truck from the field turns out to be swiss cheese after blasting. still gotta pay the guy though. yours looks pretty good from the one pics of the cab. any previous damage or repairs you know of?

No, this is my first Task Force/Blue Chip truck. The cab was media blasted and primed looooooong ago so you can see the rusty areas but they are minimal. It is going to need cab corners, and a few small floor areas but it isn't bad at all. I have done a couple of early Mustangs where I've replaced all the floors, quarters and inner cowl so this truck is MINT compared to that.
When I get all the sheet metal home, I will get some more pictures posted.
