F100

I am new to working on vehicles and restoring classics. Was just trying to gather some info on what to look for when purchasing. I want it to be a project that is enjoyable not a nightmare. Also wondering about price. I am looking for a 55-56 F100 that runs. Any help would be appreciated

Put all you $ on body and frame of vehicle. That will save you more $ than fixing rust.
Mechanical (motor and drive train) is way cheaper than body work.
