The body has rust in all the normal/usual places. They are so commonly rusted in these places that LMC (and tons of other places) make all the patch panels for them, and they're all really cheap. (cab corners, rockers, lower fender pieces, etc.) pretty much any rust spot you have there is a cut and weld patch for it.
I included as many pix as I could. If you want more pix just ask and I'll send you more.
Usually everyone wants to pull the straight 6 and put a V8 in but I would just hate to do that to this truck because the straight 6 in it run so great! Just a flick of the key and it starts right up and sounds great.
All the running gear is original. All the steering and suspension parts are tight and straight. Frame is perfectly straight.
The engine is very clean, only has a minor rear main seal leak, no where else. (just put a new water pump on)
Gas tank has been removed, cleaned and sealed. Has a new fuel sending unit, fuel lines, and filter.
Trans shift nicely no noises, clutch is good, rear end sounds good, no play in the pinion, nice clean gear oil, no bearing noise. Driveline u-joints and carrier bearing are in nice shape.
Has no power steering or power brakes as original. That is something I think I'd do if I was to keep it. Disc brake conversion and power steering.
Dash is not cut up although a previous owner moved the ignition key into one of the radio holes? Don't know why. There are some small screw holes in the dash, easy fix.
The driver's door is a bit rough. (see pix) Fixable but I think it would be more advantageous to just replace it. Passenger door is in really good, tight condition...closes nice and lines up great.
The tailgate is pretty much toast, dented pretty badly. $168 for a new one. Or another idea is to replace the whole bed with a 90s Chevy bed or anything else that has a similar body-line. Just need to take some measurements and go look around you local Pick & Pull/Pull & Save wrecking yard.
This is a project truck. But it is a perfect project for a high schooler to learn to do some body work, maybe put his newly learned welding skills to the test. All the while getting to drive it because it runs so well.
There is no reserve, high bid get the truck.
I bought it to do a custom-mod to it, but I decided I better finish my 23 Street Rod and 68 Firebird projects first. Kinda need the room in the shop for them so the truck has to go.
Buyer is responsible for picking up or transporting the truck. It is driveable if you want to drive it home. Although I don't know if I'd trust the current tires on a long trip. Fronts are pretty old and weather checked. rears are two different sizes. Might need to throw a decent used set on to drive any real distance.

GM veteran Bryan Nesbitt tapped to head Buick design
Sat, Jun 6 2015General Motors styling veteran Bryan Nesbitt (pictured above) took over a new role on Monday as executive director of global Buick design and global architectures. Andrew Smith, who previously did that job and also coordinated the look for Cadillac, has remained in charge of the pen at Caddy with this shift. Nesbitt rose to prominence when he designed the Chrysler PT Cruiser, according to Automotive News. He joined GM in 2001 and has been there ever since in multiple high-level roles. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of design for North America and was later briefly general manager of Cadillac in 2009-2010. Nesbitt took over as the vice president of GM's international operations design in China in 2011. This shuffle also moves Ken Parkinson, currently styling boss for Chevrolet trucks, to China as design vice president there. In addition, John Cafaro becomes the person in charge of the look for Chevy globally, rather than previously splitting that role between cars and trucks with Parkinson. GM Global Design Leadership Changes – effective June 1, 2015. Bryan Nesbitt, Design Vice President, GM China will repatriate to North America and assume the position of Executive Director, Global Buick and Global Architectures. He will be located in Warren, MI. Bryan will be the design Champion for Buick in the US and China. Ken Parkinson, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Trucks and Global Architecture will assume the position of Design Vice President, GM China. He will be based in Shanghai, China. Andrew Smith, Executive Director, Global Cadillac and Buick Design will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Cadillac. He will continue to be the design Champion for the Cadillac brand. In addition, he will continue to lead the Global Color & Trim team. He will be based in Warren, Michigan. John Cafaro, Executive Director, Global Chevrolet Cars will assume the position of Executive Director, Global Chevrolet. He will be the design Champion for Chevrolet. In addition, John will lead the exterior components and accessories team. He will continue to be based in Warren, MI. The roles and responsibilities of Helen Emsley, Mark Adams, Carlos Barba, Clay Dean, Michael Simcoe, and Teckla Rhoades remain the same.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
