Appears to be 100% stock and does not look like it has had a wrench on it. Frame is sound but has surface rust, engine and drive line seem fine--doesn't burn oil but there are a few leaks, will need some body work(not too much) and paint. Where do I start? I am thinking start with the frome and work my way up--does that sound right??

where I'd start is driving it, why "fix" something that isn't broke, 100% original is much rarer than amateur "molested"

Put every thing in good, safe mechanical condition. It's no fun out there with a broken down old truck. The brakes & fuel system alway's needs going through. Get all the lights & electrical system's working. The steering should be in good shape also to make it safe & more pleasurable to drive. It's amazing what you can do with some airesol paint can's. You can paint that frame with rustoleom Rusty metal primer & then some black satan paint.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

I bet there are quite a few of us frothing at the mouth to see a jewel in this condition!
