I look forward to seeing some pics of your truck. If your uploading pics from your phone there's a photobucket app that works well, it was free when I got it, and it is pretty fast, I prefer it over my PC, lol.

She's rough, but has potential. Has a good motor and good set of tires. Got a long road to go.

That is a strange bumper. That looks like the front of a pendaliner plastic truck bed liner.

Your right stuff is hard to find. I had a 79 about 10 years ago it made your truck look like Barrett Jackson material lol. Mine ran good we were going to use the motor on a tire crushing machine cause we picked up the truck with a crane and it broke in half. Parted it out so others may live. I think your only hope for cheap body parts is to take a road trip out west. Cheap interior parts can be found in the rust belt. There was a company called Veng that made replacement body parts pretty cheap but the fitment kinda sucks. I'm on my 3rd pair of fenders for my 88.

I bought the truck from a 13 year old, and it is a bedliner lol but its comin off as soon as I start tearing into it. I found new sheetmetal fenders for 65 bucks, but the front clip and tailgate are a little harder to find.
