Would you buy it, 69 longhorn?

Well it looks like the 63 I was looking at is sold. However there is a 69 longhorn 3/4 ton at the same lot. The good things, aside from a tailgate it is complete, it has headers for the small block, was converted to bucket seats, and overall it is not in awful shape. Now the bad, rust on the firewall, rocker panel is gone on the driver's side and needs replacing on the passenger's side, rust spots on the firewall, outside trim is not all there, the duct work is hanging down from the dash, the bucket seats are crap(did not feel secure, upholstery half gone and replaced with T shirts, basically all they give me is mounts for newer seats), floorboard rust, cracked block in later year motor that at least I am glad he was honest about(coming in with my badge on may have been a good idea), motor is not original, 2 different pairs of wheels, small creases and dents, bed has a new sheet of metal just thrown in. It needs a lot of work. More so than the 63. But it is still for sale. They want 750 for it. It has potential and I like the odd rear bumper, but it feels like a consolation prize. I really wanted the 63, but am broke until thursday.
