Head examined

Should I seek professional psychiatric help? 1977 project I somehow couldn't resist. PO claimed rebuilt 391 engine, new PTO. Cannot start yet due to frozen carb plates on newer Edelbrock 1405, broken cooling hoses, bad fuel pump, Additionally, corroded master cylinder and booster, thoroughly rusted hood and roof of cab, blown mufflers. Would like to replace distributor, hood if possible, and misc to get it reasonably presentable. 1st pic was as found. Second is after pressure cleaning and tire inflation and dragged out of hole. Am I nuts?

Short answer...um, yes. No, seriously, no, it looks a handful, but you should check out my purchase!

"Should I seek professional psychiatric help?" Nope. I'd say you're totally normal. Actually, that would be a pretty cool and useful machine once you get it fixed up. Could probably make some side money moving stuff.
