Looks like you're gonna have your hands full for a while. You need to decide if ya want to drive it or restore it. If you're gonna drive it for now, re-do the brakes and figure out what you want to do. If you are gonna restore it take a look at some of the work fellow board members have done. jaros44 has done some really nice work and shows what he has gone through in his project. GQ is a nice one also along with hundreds of others. A total resto for show is EXPENSIVE and time consuming. I am NOT trying to talk you out of it but be fully aware of what you are getting into. I have over 7 grand in mine. It's not done, but close. I got mine at the same price you got yours for, and it is a daily driver. Labor hours are countless but they are what makes it worth while. The board members here are a priceless wealth of knowledge and are due a tremendous amount of respect. As far as chrome, almost everything is available as aftermarket. Your top...look for another one, they are out there. Bed sides sprung, measure distance front of box area to rear and compare. If they are sprung, look at all attachment points for broken bolts or welds. It can be fixed! bouncytruck is dead on as far as rockerboxes. If you do remove top to rework body, measure and support prior to cutting and removing.
And definitely NICE SCORE!!
