saw this on samba. not mine.  its in Gettysburg Pa.  talked w/  owner, he
wants $3500 for it and a '85 GL pass van (the 2 are being sold as a  pair)
use the GL's motor and trans in the singlecab and part the rest of the GL  out
(it has tan capt chairs..those will sell)  most of rust is surface  rust,
no rot thru.
