If you're planning on a restoration properly replacing rusty body parts gets expensive or at the very least time consuming really quick. So buy the most rust free truck you can find and afford. Even paying another $1,000 for a truck with little to no rust could save several times that if you buy one and need to do some seemingly small rust repairs.

Otherwise look for a truck you like for whatever those reasons are.
