Sure would like that short wide bed. The amount of rust would scare me off. To be completely honest you are much better off buying a truck that someone has already put the money into. It is a labor of love, but it depends how far you want your dollar to go. You can replace it piece by piece and spend hours upon hours, or buy one mostly done for 1/2 what you would have spent in parts and 0 man hours. Then just complete it with your personal touches. For instance a new engine is $2,000 or so. Once its placed in a truck and started, its just part of the truck and no longer worth $2000.
