Re: good deal?

I think you did good. There's a local guy here that put a really rough 78 up for sale for $1000. I mean this truck body is totally gone with rust and dents, and he stood firm on his price. I think you did a good job. I'd go ahead and do the mods to the engine and tune up like you suggested, then re-evaluate. The diffs may have too high of gears to run those 33's, you may have to lower your ratios a little.
