You know looking at it more I REALLY like the metal dash in that thing. Maybe I'll swap my interior for one of those :) I like the idea of colour matching my interior to the truck like that.

The steering wheel and dash are the same in the Ford Courier.Only the horn button is different.

there it is
For anyone who cares, I just got back from checking it out and here it is: it is a B1600, not 1800 and it is largely as clean as the pictures indicate, however... pictures didn't show one area of the frame (12-16 inches) and a few spot areas filled with poly foam and painted black, a good portion of the cab floor inexpertly patched with sheet metal and a million pop rivets. The bed was rotted out in a couple places. The blower motor + Hi-beams didn't work. It was leaking a little coolant from the radiator drain plug and from one other place I couldn't see. The brake fluid in the reservoir was murky. The motor fired right up, and ran really rough for a minute, but then settled down, although idled kind of high. No smoke or leaks though.
Overall, it wouldn't be a bad project for someone with some welding skills and a whole lot of time, neither of which I have. Since I'm looking for a solid daily-driver, I'll keep looking and waiting for a driveable 77 REPU.
