That's exactly what I would do to it... he has good taste! Might have slip in a 5spd though...

I sure hope its in as good condition as it looks! I'm sure it has some rust but it screams like it hasn't been screwed with by the POs. I saw the one cap and hopefully the other three are still there. I did call the old guy to see what he wanted for it but the Old Truck fund isn't exactly where it needs to be right now. I was hoping to pull off a miracle. Good to see someone on the forum got it! I can't wait to see pictures!

it definately has some rust but if I can at all I'm gonna leave the patina looking paint alone , if I have to put floor pans and or cab supports in it thats fine , the old guy I got it from said he has had it for 15 year's he bought it from the original owner who was an older gentleman from north carolina , it dont matter what it needs I'm gonna fix ,, he said it still has all the factory stock stuff under the hood too , said it had some floor pan rust but not bad , I will load the pic's soon as I get it !

LOL you guy's should see some of the truck's my son found on his own and wanted me to buy ! ohhh yea I could see the one hubcap too so I asked him and he said the other three are on it !!

Looks like a real nice find. Great starter for your son. I hope it turns out as nice when you get it home. Clean it up, lower it and he will be in heaven.
