I think that most everyone here has seen way worse trucks (rust and otherwise) come back from the dead. From what Ive seen from yours, if it ran, Id rock that all day, every day and twice on Sunday!

I think you have a great start there and you're in the right place for information. Time to start a build thread!

X2! Not to mention as you start getting the mechanical done and driving you will for sure wind up talking to people who have classics and can recommend a body man, if that's the route you decide to take. That looks like original paint, and it's only original once. People pay good money for a weathered rig like that.
