Possible Project Truck

[jjsledd]

I found a '52 Chevy Pickup just down the road from me, don't really need a second project but have been keeping my eyes open for a pickup. All I have been told about it so far is that it is "solid" but is a definite project truck, has the original engine which does run good, has a 9 ft. bed which the owner says he was told is not very common, and owner will take $900 cash.

I don't have a lot of early 50s truck knowledge and the guys at Team Chevelle sent me here. If I go take a look at it, what are some things I should look for, be aware of, etc? What kind of shape does it need to be in for $900 to be a good buy?

Thanks for your time and any input.
