Cab floors, cab interior, dash, seat, roof eyebrows, engine bay, better lighting pics............... Surface rust on frame OK.........flaky metal rust NOT OK....could be mud, could be undercoat coming off, can't tell....believe it's flaky rust.
Which parts are the roof eyebrows and hinge pockets please?
Curious about the broken knob left of ignition switch. I was never sure of what would be optioned in that position? Love the glove box badge. Maybe a 60-61 badging or came with cab package option. I have not seen before. I really like that. Rust pictures so far are typical and bartamos is centered-alot of time and money to restore. But many of us have started with the condition of this truck.

There are all manner of aftermarket sheet metal repair sections, shaped like the original areas to be "patched", for most common rusted out areas, on most all the trucks covered by Stovebolt.com. Referred to as patch panels. They are relatively inexpensive. They can be trimmed down to be as small as necessary. You cut out the bad rust on the truck and weld these in place. You need to search the internet on this subject. Hundreds of pics and videos. Examples below:

Truck has been sold complete. Thank you all very much for your help and insight. It will stay in Canada and funny enough to the stepdad of my Grandsons friend. Hopefully I can post up some pics once it's done. All the best to you all.
