Clean straight body - Candidate for restoration or lots of vintage quality part

1973 Toyota Other Additional Info:

1973 Toyota Hilux pickup in restorable condition or great for lots of nice vintage parts.
This has been my dads truck for many years. I believe he is the second owner. He bought it from a friend in California. He brought it to Maryland and finally to North Carolina. He moved to North Carolina in 2006 and had it for many years before that but cant say exactly what year he got it. I have a clear title in hand for it.
Truck sat out for many years in his pasture. He was clearing his property up so I put it in my shop where its been for several years. I thought I'd get around to it but too many projects and I need the space and I don't want to see the truck sit outside. Like to find someone who would appreciate it.
Truck is very intact including the original spare and jack. It has some period 14" mag wheels. I removed the rotted tires but haven't put new tires on. Right now its on the spare and some old roller wheels. Body seems straight everywhere with the exception of a small dent in the passenger front fender as seen in photos. Some nice patina with old faded hand pinstriping. I have a period camper top that was on the truck for pretty much its whole life. It was booted into the back window.
Engine bay looks complete. 18R motor with 4 speed manual transmission. Interior is complete and in very nice shape. Two cracks in dash as would be expected but rest of dash and gauges in excellent condition. Truck shows 52,400 miles. I'd imagine its 152K but cant say for sure.
Body is solid and straight. There is some small cancer at the rear cab corners and bottom of front fenders. I've repaired worse. I included pictures of floor pans. Very good. Drivers side has sone small spots. See photos. There is some damage around the rear window where the booted in hard top held moisture. Once again, very repairable. Bed has some rust but is not a write-off.
I have restored cars in worse condition and think this truck could drive again. I imagine there aren't very many of these left around. Truck is nice for being over 50 years old. At a minimum the steering wheel, grill, dash, doors, etc are all parts that would be nearly impossible to find. Hate to see a part of history left to rot and hope someone has time for this.
Let me know if you need further photos or have any questions. I'll do my bets to answer. Deposit due at end of auction. Balance due on pick up. I could possibly deliver truck for fee within reasonable distance. Truck is at my home in Tellico Plains, TN. If you win and feel like truck was misrepresented in any way I'll refund minus eBay fees.

Sorry I didn’t include truck is not in running condition. Would clean tank, carb, plugs etc before trying to start. It’s been sitting a long time.

Just an update to those asking. Put cables on it. All four headlights came on. Dash lit up. Motor turns over fine. Have pictures and video if interested. Hope this helps. Thanks for all the messages. Makes me feel good others have respect for these old trucks!
