    re-painted once, but very close to the factory green/turquiose... I jumped on it because... bed is immaculate, straight, no body work, doors cherry !!, all gutters still there... only get some holes on fenders but really minor.... (probably plan to repaint with stock color.. + some pearl) my dash got no cracks , still soft !!!... noteable replacements: middle dash (dam donkeys butchered installing a brand new AM radio), passenger side vent, stock antenna , blower control unit... (got parts.. ha ha.. i bet a popular question) for us guys in Hawaii hard to score with no rust holes or not to sun burnt... 60k original... btw love your paint sceme on your 74
