New Toy Fingers Crossed

I am picking it up on Monday. Can't wait to see it. The seller says there is a small hole in the floor. It is missing a piece of side trim that will be nearly impossible to find. The tailgate trim is also missing.

well I have good news and I have bad news on that small hole in the floor board.. I'm like The Godfather I like bad news first and fast... every one of the trucks except for one that had a camper on it all its life quote a small hole in the floor board... Translation the floorboards were totally rotted out...
Here's the good news.. first it's always just under the rubber mat and it is a cheap easy fix.. all of the under supports are galvanized and do not rust out.. current 2 Classic or c2c has floorboards for $24 each and about $25 shipping.. do not put that rubber mat back in there with the sponge that's underneath it. Every last one of the floorboards I've seen rusted out are from the inside never from the outside... The carpet kit takes no time at all to put in and it's about a hundred and forty bucks plus shipping..
Currently on General discussion under grandson of seed truck I'm doing floor boards with pictures or have done them...
This is my fourth truck of that era and only one of them didn't have rusted floorboard from the inside because again it had a giant camper that overhung the cab. What happens is the door seals go out and water gets in and sets underneath that rubber mat and gets in the sound deadener which is basically a sponge that holds water under that rubber mat against your floorboard.. then when you do that don't forget to replace the door seals which are only like $50 and take about 15 minutes to put on both..
