The Good:
-Period correct 70's mods; CB radio antenna, WARN "belleview" Winch, functions, needs solenoid and replaced wiring/ cables freed up. 21(?) ish gallon aux (aluminum!) aft fuel tank. Thick C channel front bumper. Rear wheel well flares are very nice beadrolled steel and welded to the tub. Chrome 15" wagon wheels. Setup for dual battery, with a battery isolator.
-Brand new leaf springs and shackles all 4 corners.
-Very solid frame, surface rust only

-Cloth seats are in nice shape
-Body is straight and un-abused
-Original radio!
-Glass is in amazing shape
-Tires are '19 date coded and have nearly no miles on them, spare is ancient and not to be trusted.
The So-so
-P.O. has installed delco-remy straight points distributor, gotten rid of oem ignitor. No vacuum advance, flyweights only for timing advance.
-Knuckles are in need of rebuild at some point
-Play in the steering, tie rods ends are shot
-front brakes surge slightly
-Front heater "lever arm" is missing
-OE air cleaner bottom is missing, working on obtaining one
-Hole cut into dash, not sure what for
The Bad:
-The only "rot" on the body is the rh side of the rear sill, where the drivers footwell meets the door post, and either side of the trans tunnel at both footwells, Thats it! Surface rust is present.
-Front t-case output bearing has play
-Rear main seal leaks
-Door seals are all crispy and falling apart
-Exhaust needs rewelded in areas, hangars reattached, its held up with bailing wire
