Rust Free 74 Cab & parts at SoCal Pick a Part

I looked at a 74 REPU at the Pick A Part in Stanton CA, off Katella and Beach Blvd.
The Cab is virtually rust free - floors and rockers near perfect and someone already knocked off the sound deadening.
Tailgate is a single rib and usable- has a few dings.
Front fenders might be salvagable but they have pretty good size dents, but no rust.
Has an ugly cap on the bed. Bed is in pretty good shape as well rust wise but some dents.
Has the rear diff, 4sp transmission, driveshaft. No engine in it so easy removeal. Front suspension is intact.
Interior is pretty much wasted, inner door handles and window cranks are about it. Gauge cluster is there.
Early truck #463 built 1/74.
Get the parts before this thing is crushed. Looked at it today.

Thank you for posting the info on the truck. I went to Stanton on Thursday to gather some parts. I wandered through the yard looking for the truck, couldn't find it, went through again, still no luck. As I was about to give up and leave, I saw it. It had been moved to a pile for crushing. It was the second vehicle in a stack of three. I went and talked with the manager, he talked to his forklift driver and they pulled the truck from the stack, set aside for me so I could get the parts I needed. I thought that was pretty cool of then to do that. kinda of a long story, just wanted to share it. Thanks again.
