Pulled all the grey Pig stuff outta the attic to sort it out. Looks like I'm only going to be able to make one signal work as two are SUPER rusted at the stem. The cup is full of hardware.
The single mirror it has happens to be the passenger...
Those can be fixed. The threaded metal tube that holds everything together can be found at a hardware store in the lamps dept. The only 55 specific part is the plastic mount between the fender and the signal housing. The housings and lenses are...
OK, I’ll add to the drama.
the owner forgot he owned it for a couple years. Shop called several times. He finally remembered.
I have a req in to see if he wants to part with it

Sold it to a friend. Friend parked it under a tree.
Bought it back from the friend
Took it to a Jiffy Lube, they forgot to put oil back in it.

This is where we are with it as of now. To get it here was a ton of labor from the last photos back in July. This week we will work on the gutters and roof, hopefully.
Thanks. Yeah, trying to avoid going the new route because a painted fender would lead to a painted hood followed by a repaint of the whole truck...that rabbit hole scares me 😳
Trying to figure out how to haul some sheetrock on my suby. Spent 20 miniutes looking for some plywood for the roof. Completely forgot I now have a functional rig that easily fits a 4/8' sheet of anything... Finally putting her to use :)
Guys,
A friend of mine suggested the sty might have some good suggestions on how to proceed on some body work.
I have a 94 Toyota Pickup 4x4 DLX that's my daily. On Friday I hit a doe on the way to the office, didn't see it coming, poor...
