Traeger, welcome to the Stovebolt. I do have some bad news though. Regardless of what people tell you there is absolutley NO cure for this disease. You just have to outlive it which usually takes several decades...and lots of "treatments" of old iron along the way.
Thtt does look like a worthy truck to keep as close to original as you can but its your truck and your decidion. I will add my two cents and say I think there are usually some "upgrades" that can be done an not loose the "authenticity".
Good luck, we're here to help and keep us posted with updates and pictures.
