When the fender flares were removed we found some behind the back drivers side one. It's gonna be cut out and replaced with sheet metal.
While the truck has been in the body shop I've managed to round up some parts from a junk yard. I've gotten an sr5 cluster (I've already switched out the LEDs to white), a dash pad with only one crack vs mine with multiple cracks, quartz clock, extra tailgate with glass and several other odd and end trim pieces. I've also ordered a new stock bumper and grill (which is on back order) and some extended shackles.
Hopefully body work and paint will be finished by the end of the week and more pics to come.

Tore some of the interior out and did a lot of cleaning. I replaced the clock with one out of a newer model and put my new(er) dash pad in. I wish I would have taken a few pics of the dash pad before but lets just say this one is a major improvement!
This is where the PO had the rear window switch wired up... Why? I have no clue!
When I removed the drivers seat I found these under the seat... I am not a wiring expert so after some more research I am going to wire these back up how they're supposed to be.
.
Here is a few more pics...
I rounded up a metal fan shroud that im planning to replace within the next few days. I am planning on going with carpet at least up to the back seat. I would like to leave the back rhino lined for hauling various things. I am wondering if carpet out of a ext cab pickup wouldnt work? I havent gotten any measurements.

I changed the pads and calipers today. Now I cant get my pedal back. I must've bled both sides 20 times each. I'm stumped other than the master cylinder or bb? I've changed pads and calipers before but I've always been able to bleed and get my pedal back.

you got a great deal on that, with all the goodies it came with - nice work!
Not sure on the brakes...are you also bleeding the Load Sensing proportioning valve (LSPV) on the rear axle? That needs to be done when bleeding the system.
that rear bumper is killer looking too - custom or ARB too? Why are you going back to stock?!

I did not bleed the LSPV. Wasn't aware of that.
And I'm back to smelling a strong raw gas smell. I ran new piping and new muffler. I have been told that its the weber (had issues with it stalling on a hill the other day) and that I should go back to a stock carb. More than anything I want to do a 3.4 swap but funds won't allow for now.

Alright guys... I talked to the PO today and found out that I've got a weber 38 carb. I was unsure about which one I had so I made contact with him. As I've said before I've been smelling a rich raw gas smell, it is strong! The PO said it was running rich before. So, I've been told by more experienced people that I should just got back to a stock carb. I'm also having issues with it flooding on incline. What say ye?
