need opinions

[BrianV]

This is a truck my dad has owned since i was a kid and I hate to see him sell it but the truck is totally rusted out literally there isn't a body panel on the truck that doesn't have cancer in it. So I am thinking of doing a rust bucket patina build. Basically just lift the body completely redo the chassis and make it lay frame and then go through the factory 283 and manual trans (column shift ) and just clean up the interior and saddle blanket the seat or something.

Just looking for opinions and suggestions
Thx
