If the bulkhead and rest of body are relatively solid looks like a fantastic candidate for a chassis swap. Where did the truck originate from? This one being LHD is likely to be a stateside vehicle but there are some persons in the UK selling cheap trucks that look like dynamite....their tactic...$500 paint job, cover the holes in the frame with tape and waxoil the frame, sell for cheap on ebay and ship to the USA. New owner gets truck and soon realized their $10,000 rover is a $500 junkpile. Yours does not look like this type of deal...but that undercoating on the frame is a tricky bit...could have been years of rust protection...could be hiding all sorts of horrors...still looks like a good body donor for a rebuild.

I was told by the Po that it came from overseas somewhere?? OLD Inspestion sticker says Tx, so as far as I know for sure is Tx to nc and 3 owners after the milliraty service,but Iv never put through or work into the history of the truck.. there is some bondo aparently in the truck (paint starting to crack in spots) once again I havemt dug into it the plan was to get it running and safe to drive and worry about looks later,cuss chrome dont get u home lol. I'll get under it and poke around when I get time, anyone feel free to come look at the truck if intrested..
