Cosmetically, the truck is quite rough. The bulkhead has severe/terminal rust below the windshield. All four passenger doors are badly rotted. The frame, while solid, has significant corrosion all over it. The same goes for the running boards. The floors are surprisingly good. The paint looks to be original and has good shine but there are numerous scuffs, scrapes, and dings. There is some rust bleed at the hinges though the hinges themselves look to be good upgraded units. The external cage is in good condition. The interior is in fair shape. The seats, headliner, and dash are in good condition. All seating surfaces are covered in Badger Coachworks seat covers. The interior door panels are not cracked or broken. The door sills look to be in relatively good shape. The seat bases have some surface corrosion. Ultimately, this truck needs a cosmetic restoration.

Nearly all vehicle systems function as they should. Interior and exterior lighting are all functional. The truck has good heat and A/C. All gauges work except for the fuel gauge. The upgraded Alpine stereo with iPod integration works nicely. The truck starts right up and runs very well. The R380 gearbox shifts nicely and makes the driving experience significantly better over the original unit. The four wheel disc brakes are a big improvement over the original set up. They stop the car nicely with no pulsation or pull. Surprisingly, the truck is remarkably leak free. All in all, this is a serviceable truck that would service as a great foundation for a full restoration.
