I dont have a 30's truck, but have several older vehicles. I think the advice given is right on the money. I think you will be pleased with it, when done - as long as you git your mind right to the year of the truck. It well do what it was designed to do quite well too, just not to todays standards. I ride a 39 Indian and have model T's, for how old they are - they do quite well and have really impressed me. I have 60,000 miles on my Indian over 20 some years. Rebuild your truck well and it will impress you for sure, that's my guess :-)
