Please help me decide between these two trucks...

OK, so I have been scouring Craigslist, bugging everyone I know, using all my back alley contacts, and have come up with two decent "projects". Both trucks have rust. Neither has a motor or trans. Red one is in better shape (has a little less rust) and I have been talking to this guy about it for several weeks now. It's 4.5 hrs away. Black one I just got a line on yesterday, came from VA, has more rust, especially in the windshield area on the inside than the red one, has rust at the bottom of the front fenders, some in the bed, needs floor pans and rockers. As you see though, a lot more is there with the black one than the red one. Both are the same price, Black one is 3 hrs away. What are the opinions here? Red truck is a 68, black is a 69. Both have clear titles.

Both Trucks are $500

Black one has rust in firewall, guy said that the lip is pretty well missing on pass side and he can move the firewall by pushing on it.

Sorry for lots of red pics and only one black pic, but that's what I've got.























Now, the 69
