The body on this truck is super clean for being an original well taken care "survivor from the late 70's", it's got some age on the paint and body, some light chips and scratches, nothing out of the ordinary for a '77 truck; This truck have only had 2 owners besides me and the first owner had it since 1976 since he first bought it in California and sold in 2010 for the first time since new, this C10 was build in Fremont, California and has been there until I purchase it back in October 2016, since I got it, I decided to left the body and paint alone and focus on the suspension and fix all the little problems and make it road worthy as a summer daily driver and most of all keeping the originality of the truck but better and meaner underneath. Has a very tiny dent by the end of the driver side bed very minimal and small.All the exterior moldings and trim are the exact original that came on the truck and this is the 1 year only gold stripe on the moldings, they have never been replaced.Impeccable floor, doors, rockers, corners and roof.
