Congratulations on the "new" truck!
In my opinion what you do depends on your ultimate goal for the truck.
If you want a cool "patina" truck to beat around in that you're not pouring money into constantly then you've already ahead of the game. If you want a super nice driver or show truck you can have that too... with lots work, time and MONEY.
You will want to fix the rust eventually regardless of your plans as it has a tendency to "grow"
Regardless.... I say enjoy that fact that you have it and good luck with whatever you decide!!

Fix the rust at your leisure while rebuilding/upgrading the mechanicals. Then, blow it apart for paint.
However, a true ground up resto/restomod would generally follow the phases described here: Bumpside/Dentside Rebuild Guidelines
