Re: Where do I start?
Lets start with what it has..
Patina - Its all the rage right now. Not my thing personally but that truck has tons of it. Embrace it for now. The worst rust that I can see is in the outer floor boards, lower fenders and front door corners. I think everyone here would agree that there have been many much worse examples of the brown cancer that couldn't pass for "patina" ever.
The interior - Looks pretty clean to me. Not cut up. Needs a real good washing and a little attention to the rust on the floor to keep it from getting worse.
Glass - Looks to be in good condition. Especially that BIG back window! Nuff said on that.
The bed.. A sheet of plywood will do for now. Remember #1? Patina? Goes great with the plywood.
Whats in the bed is of more interest to me.
I spy 4 hubcaps, West Coast mirrors, a core for a transmission exchange, gas tank and a propane tank. Id say get rid of the propane tank and try to salvage the rest. Get a exchange transmission. Use the one you have for a core. The radiator may still be good. Have it checked at a radiator shop.
I also see the cool aluminum trim on the sides along with the aluminum grill. More cool factor.
No rust around the rain gutters - another win.
All in all, Id rock that rig in a hot second!
