Hi John,
Unless it's your Grandfather's truck or close to free, why bother starting
with a truck that rough? There are lots of TF trucks for sale that are
"drivers" or better. The money you spend trying to fix that truck will be
WAY more than the cost of buying one "turn key".
Good Cabs are $500+
Good Fenders are $250+ each
Good Doors are $350+ each
Used Mechanical stuff is easy to get, the BIG money is in the sheet metal.
Around here (Mid-Atlantic States) that truck might be worth $500 as a parts
truck, "IF" it runs and you can use the driveline.
Food for thought!! My 2 cents!
