Personally I think that is the coolest truck. The rarity of it might make it worth more than some think here, but I agree that it isn't something you should 'turn'. How bad is the rust as a lot of rust repair will ad a significant amount of time to your restoration.
If you want it, and will either enjoy the restoration, or will likely keep it, then what in the world are you waiting for? You would certainly have a hard time finding a rarer 38 big bolt. When you deduct the cost of the tires then you are looking at 1200 which I'd be all over. If I lived any where near Denver, then the little red creature on my left shoulder would be urging me to go look at it.
