I agree on passing this one up. Way too much work and $ to bring it back up to something you could enjoy. Keep looking and like others have said - you will find something better for your money, something you can have some fun with. Press on, and let us know what you decide. The knowledge people share on this site and the advice you can get is invaluable if you like these old trucks. Come back and let us know how you're doin'.
