Newbie Needs Advice on this Truck

[Dan in Pasadena]

Asking price is $6600 o.b.o.
My issue: Its the 1st '67-'72 I've looked at. I don't want to pas up good deal and kick myself later. I don't want to be foolish and buy the first I've seen...and kick myself later. All opinions appreciated.

FYI - I DO NOT intend to do a frame off. It will be a Sat/Sun driver. A pretty, no rust truck but not a show truck.

Its a '71 shortbed fleetside with a '68 front clip. Its C-notched (not my preference but well done. I know the welds are good). It has a Chevy V8 (size unknown) that runs solid if unimpressively and an automatic (again, unknown) that shifts fine, does not leak.

I drove it today on the freeway. Runs fine, no stumbling, no overheating, no smoke, blow by, all-in-all, fine as is...for while I work on it.
The truck has been primed a funky yellow/greenish color. Cab shows no rust, but realistically - NO rust in a 38 year old truck? C'mon. I didn't have a magnet with me to check anything.

So: its all there, runs fine, is a factory AC truck but of course none of it works. The "eyeball" dash end vents are there and the control module. The bed is solid but full of surface rust and mildly dented - will need a lot of work or replacement. Has front discs, brand new lowering springs, lugs match front and rear.

What do you think of this as a starting point for the price and my intended use? I've been lurking and I think the price is ok (I'd love lower of course).
I am leaning toward, "Don't get hotpants. Its the first one you've seen" But I don't want to recognize later I blew it by not buying this one.
