I took a peek at the sheet metal behind the bumper and its very clean with no rot or dents. Some scale surface rust on the floors and frame so planning on a POR-15 shower at some point

Very nice score on this LV. What an amazing condition to find one in. There's just something about these old LVs...

Brakes and suspension are done. Had a team of mechanics working to fit the bezel correctly.

Definitely going to sell te LV
Took my kid camping in the troopy this weekend. We had an amazing time....one of those times I'll always remember. The troopy needs next to nothing other than slight mechanical and cosmetics. Decided I'd rather spend time going on adventures with my kids than working in the garage.
I'm into this for $15k including the large pile of spare parts. I could sell for less if you don't want the rims, tires, or excess parts.
I have to replace the timing chain gasket and I have a new radiator to bolt in. Just need a rainy day to do it.
Needs exhaust and elbow grease. I have an impressive amount of parts, enough to finish everything including, interior door handles, new interior door panel kit, rear seat with upholstery, new door hinges, window cranks, door rubbers, window channel, heater boxes and hoses, door regulators, rear inside tailgate panel, extra front seat, extra tail lenses, red paint cans from Sherwin Williams to paint the roof. I have boxes and boxes of great stuff.
There is really no rot on this truck and any rust is surface. No major dents aside from a couple on the tailgate hinges from past people dropping the tailgate and letting it slam. Also the drivers door has a good dent. Otherwise Its really, really straight.
I'll do a more exhaustive description on a FS thread.
Sorta bummed out but far more excited to go camping with the kids. Maybe again down the road.
