What to do the day after selling one truck? Drag another out of a field of course!

Ended up selling my 72 gmc sb to a friend on friday last week and bought this 69 c10 lb the very next day lol. I stopped in over a year ago on this truck that sat about 1/4 mile off the road and gave the lady my number as she didn't want to sell it just yet. Well last week I stopped back in and she was ready to part with it. Its a 69 1/2 ton longbed fleetside 2wd original everything. Its pretty beat but has ZERO rust. Ive been looking all over this thing and the only thing i can find is a little surface rust on the bottom of the passenger door which is surprising because some delinquent shot out the drivers side window. Its also still wears the original paint white/Saddle with red interior which seems like an unusual color combo. Got the engine to turn over also while towing it back to my place so it not frozen which is a big relief its getting anew starter, alternator, spark plugs and wires, and fuel pump today and we'll see if she runs. Also buffed the drivers side of the hood and fender out and it has a really cool patina on it. Next thing to do is find an original saddle paint tailgate and find who can make an original seat cover. Needs alot of work but for $300 I figured it was hard to go wrong!

Took the disgusting seat out and soaked the interior in simple green.
