This is one of the better examples I've seen lately, with a price tag maybe a touch high, but definitely within the realm of reality. A good base to start with for making a stock restoration or restomod wheeler that has the original looks with some decent mods for use in the bush. Would want to see pics of under the front floor mat, front fenders, rockers, roof, ect.., but so far looks to be pretty clean.
 
Did you see the galvanized pipe roof rack on that thing and the "reupholstered" back seat? He's done a lot of good upgrades but you gotta wonder about the quality of workmanship after looking at some of the questionable eye sores on it. Hopefully he put some sort of moisture barrier above the wooden headliner or I would think it'd rot pretty quickly.

I'm currently working on an alternative headliner. If it works out the way I'm visualizing it, I'll post a write up.

Even if it doesn't work out perfectly, post something up. I'd like to see it. With the price of a full weatherstrip package, I'd like to see what other ideas folks have come up with for headliners.

Ha! I didn't notice that before, but it does look like pipe joints.

Me too, Mine is out and I know if I put fabric back in it will get quickly torn.
I also would like to beef up the metal across top of windshield.
 
Why hasn't this one sold? It looks pretty clean. I agree the seat, roof rack and the head liner makes me a little nervous, but it looks like a clean truck. The "decent respray" makes me nervous.
