Don't give up on it. I have a feeling if you say forget it and send it on down the road, in a few years you might regret it. At that point though it will be gone. You see people on here quite often wishing they could get their old truck back and a lot of the time it just doesn't work out.

Instead of going straight for the full blown restoration, how about getting it running and just enjoying it a bit as is to see how you feel about it?

I bet getting it driving again would put a smile back on your face.
