It has a lot that needs done, it sat inside for the last 20 years, and the previous owner primed the interior upper section. Brakes ? I told everyone do not push that brake pedal, all wheels would be locked up for sure.
The first hole I fix is that antenna hole. In this area if you want something like this to last and drive it, any place on the truck that can rust needs some sort of treatment.
Then of course things like the leaky transmission output seal, and likely the rear axle seals, wheel bearings and on and on the list goes for the mechanicals. If it wasn't already in kit form and painting started, and the non factory HOLES, I'd be doing the eastman frame spray in the cab, brakes etc then hit the road.
By the way never install an antenna in that area on a Taskforce, just asking for a leak into the cab.
I talked to a fellow that had a GMC 59, had a 15K paint job and running gear probably the same as this 55, meaning needing lots of work, he wanted around 30K.
This was less than 10% of that.
