Mine was running when I bought it then it belched out a bunch of smoke and has had its motor torn down for about four months since. Hopefully its getting put back together this weekend.
Body-wise, its rough. It needs a new bed, bed sides, cab corners, floor inner/outer cowls, etc. My plan is to keep it running and in good/safe mechanical condition and embrace the visual nastiness until I can afford to pull it apart for body work and maybe a full rebuild of the motor. I enjoy the rustrod/ratrod culture anyways. Maybe this one will stay rough and I'll just buy another nicer survivor later down the road.
