In my opinion on restoring these old trucks is that whether you start with one with this much surface rust, or a truck that has many layers of paint from previous restorations, the procedure is the same. You need to remove all the paint and rust. If there is an advantage with this truck, there aren't hidden areas of bondoed over rust craters and not much paint to remove. You can pretty much see what you need to do as far as metal work. I can't see the road through the floor board and the kick panels look intact. If I was in the market for a restore-able truck and had the ambition to do another one, I would not shy away from this one due to the apparent soundness of the cab. I wouldn't pay a lot of money for it, as it needs a lot of work (as they all do).
