I suggest get it running, vacuum it out, and put an aftermarket hood on it or hood from your 65 and sell it as a running truck.

It may be radical, but looks to me like maybe the local high school art department needs to use it as a canvas. Give them a theme like flower power.

Excellent find! In my honest opinion, if it was born with a '60-'61 hood, keep the '60-'61 hood! They certainly aren't for everyone but it's unique and usually difficult to find in decent shape.
