I took pictures of the 74 that I may be parting out.
They are here:

Here's the story as I pieced it together from receipts and new looking parts. I may be wrong, much of this is just an educated guess.
The rig had a ton of work done in 1998- $8000 in mechanical, including a new engine. The paint scheme and the upholstery look pate 90's as well.
There is a military base pass exp 2002. Those are usually good for a couple years.
It appears to be stocked and ready to go, lost of stuff in the cabinets.
My guess is that the last real owner did an extensive remodel in 98, interior, exterior, mechanicals, and then he died sometime before 2002.
The vehicle was donated to a charity. it sat for a while and was then auctioned off, the last guy to buy it abandoned it and took the keys and the title. It is being sold by a shop.
Somewhere along the way someone noticed the frame rot.
So, there is a complete, nice modern interior. all the cushions are good,
The blinds look good. I tested several, they went up and down nicely.
Mechanically I can't tell much. one airbag is holding, the other seems blown
I didn't see anything that looked 35 years old
I think this thing is a gem.
IS it really that hard to fix a rotted frame?
I'm in East NC. EMail me with offers and ideas.

It's gonna take a lot of Adderall to get this thing right.
