Good parts score for my '91.5

Picked up these parts last week from a guy parting out another '91.5 which was the same color as mine. The paint is as bad as mine but these parts are solid with no rust.
I'm now looking for a nice, rust-free driver's side door, preferably in the same colors or at least the same color red. It sounds lame, but being red means prep or paint on the inside/underside surfaces won't be too bad.
Once I get these parts all collected, the only rust on my truck will be the driver's side rocker panel, the floor next to the rocker and the right front cab mount. And I'll have to deal with the windshield frame at the top as the sealer is deteriorating.

Nice score!! Rust free sheet metal is always worth trying to find a place to store it.

Sweet! Nice patina too!

I'm going to be needing a drivers door too maybe. PO had a dent fixed (I'm guessing) and starting to see the evil bubbles appear. Be joyous to find one in proper color - good luck!

For the fenders, I was only expecting the outer fenders but he included the inner fenders, battery tray, air cleaner housing, some mounts, the hood hinges, a relay of some sort, both horns and some other odds and ends. For the door he included the trim (except the wheel arch), sideview mirror, both the roll down window and the vent window, the door mechanisms and the handles. He kept only the inner panel, switches and the lock. I was really surprised he included all this stuff.

I would be tempted to get his cab too, but it's a lot of work to replace a cab.

get those rubbers off the front fender lips. My old '91 was the same color as that, and when my Uncle peeled the rubbers off there was no metal there, same for the bed.

Yesterday I picked up a nice, rust free driver's side door. It's off a blue '90. It was a shame the truck was being parted out but the engine was gone, seats, lots of the wiring was cut, etc. But the doors were super nice and the cab was rust free. The truck had been primed over the blue and the door jams were painted gloss black, so the plan looked like it was to paint the truck black overall.

I'll have to paint the door, but the main thing is it is dent and rust free. Now I have to get replacement floor pans (easy) and a set of new cab mounts.
