Welcome to the board. Truck looks to be in pretty good condition. Should be a good basis for anything you want to do with it. Congratulations.

I had a locked wheel when I picked mine up. It was a bad wheel cylinder and I replaced all four, got new hoses and made new lines.

Get some Acetone and mix it 50/50 with ATF. And a squirt bottle.
Use it as penetrating oil everywhere.
even pour some down the plug holes. That mix and a hot wrench for the rusty
bolts will make the job easier.
Take lots of pic's and document how she came apart.

Welcome on board . Good to see another 3/4 ton being saved . Looks very good to start out with but more pictures are required and a run down of your build plan .
