The truck does have a lot of desirable options, if they are original.

BUT, the rust issues would make me run backwards. You would end up putting a lot of money into a truck that you will never get your money out of if you try to sell it.

If you want the truck and want to spend the cash, go for it.
I would find a lower optioned truck and add what you want.

You can find one with rust in the rocker and cab corners and be way ahead.

I bought a 69 GMC for $3600 that only needed rockers replaced. It had about 97,000 documented original miles on it. Of course I replaced a lot more than what was needed, but I ended up with a decent truck that I could still get most of my money out of ( if I wanted to sell it )!

That truck would be a great find if it didn't have so much rust. I would love to find one with only rocker rust for that price, but body work adds up these days.

Good Luck!
