Is this worth picking up?

is this worth picking up? price is down to 1200. here is what he sent me in an email: I purchased this this fall, was sitting for over a year, Was used as a hunting rig (had camper in back) a few times a yr. I drained the bad gas and oil, installed newer carb and HEI, got it running enough to tool it around the yard and verify the motor was still good along w the brakes and trans. Been sitting out back since as it was not a priority. Still needs a good tune etc... Body is fair with typical rocker, cab corner, outer floor and support rot. Awesome firewall/cowl and windshield frame area. Frame has rust but not rotted, trailing arms have been plated (I would replace). Could be a driver with a little work. . I was planing on pulling the 327 for my 67 build and parting the rest but as this is still an all original truck I couldn't bring myself to ripping it apart. Not trying to sugar coat its condition as it has its issues but I have seen MUCH worse for more $$$. Good start to a project or beater truck.

For $1200 or less i like it.

Heck yeah I would go for it as long as the engine seems healthy enough to bring back to life. Would be an easy summer cruiser!

Looks a lot rusty to me. I would imagine from the hood and tailgate that the rust is bad in a lot of places.

In Lansing Mi I would assume the body/cab (and maybe even frame) is toast.

It looks pretty solid to me. Having grown up in the Rust Belt myself, I've seen lots of trucks newer than that in much worse condition. I would definitely buy it.

my truck was much worse when i started it. owner says frame is not rotted, but i think im going to pass. dash is out, wiring is hacked up. i think i can find another one in a little better shape. might pick this up instead, needs more work, but it is in much better shape. http://kalamazoo.craigslist.org/cto/4181092971.html
