This is a copy / paste of the refurbishing and repair of my truck on another forum.
I figured I would share a few specs on my new to me truck, bought it at auction with a broken power steering pump shaft and a fair amount of rust. Engine ran good, transmission shifted good, but all the rims and tires were junk. The body was in need of a total refit: something I could plug away at in my spare time without spending tons of money taking it to a shop, all the work done on it was done by me and me alone.
Don't recall the date I brought it back on the flat bed, but it was in the spring about 2 years ago. First step was to repair all of the wiring and the holes in the body. Since this was set up as an enforcement truck, they had a blackout box, amplifiers, radio phone and roof mount light bar.
I spent about 2 weeks pulling out all the interior except for the dash, tracing wiring, soldering and heat shrink to restore what was done to the truck. Excess holes in the firewall were sealed with body plugs and urethane sealant.
