Need some opinions, 78 1 ton duelly!

[longhorn70gmc]

Hello All,
I haven't posted in this forum for a while but I very much do like this side of the house. I wanted to get as many opinions as I can on what I am about to ask. HERE IS MY QUESTION.
Do you guys think I should keep it and finish bringing it back to life or let it go and move on? I do have my Longhorn.
My duelly needs a new 350 motor. Needs the new front end installed. Parts are in the back bed. Needs the new door Installed, new door in the bed. Last but not least it needs a new bed or me to weld the old bed. Truck is rust free and the cab is in excellent shape. Everything works on it except motor. I know in the end it is up to me, I really do love this truck. I have a friend that will help me for free with everything. He is a motor mech. I will be retiring from the service in a year and a half and I may leave Ca. Having this truck in Ohio would be great. This has been a roller coaster in my head for three years now and I just wanted somemore thoughts on this. Thanks to all whom reply ahead of time.
Respectfully
Billy
