62 for project??

[Parttime]

Hey guys, finally joined! Been lurkin around for a month or so. Lots of great info on here and everyone seems to be real knowledgeable and eager to help.

Anyway, I've alwasy loved the early 60s bodystyle and wanted one in the future for my next project. I'm a retired minitrucker and just sold my ride a few months ago. Finally starting to grow up and try to get my finances in order when I stumble upon this truck! Damn! 62 shortbed fleetside. Perfect. The guy already has power steering and brakes in it and a 454. Body is pretty straight but of course has some rust. Looks to be surface mostly but I'm sure I'll find more upon closer inspection. The truck does actually run quite well so thats a plus.

So what do you guys think? Should I bite the bullet and just buy the thing. The shortbed fleetsides are pretty rare around here(San Diego) from what I've seen. The guy wants 5G for it. He says he just wants back what he put into it. Seems fair. Are there any weird little problems with this year truck that anyone knows of? Any quirky "GM only did this on the 62" type things I should know? Or is this just a plain good deal? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks
