Wow, I've never seen a hood that bad off in my life(that includes junkyard hoods.
I would say go to a junkyard and get at least a hood, and what ever else you would need for really cheap, and in better condition.
Also, you can't go wrong with one of these trucks, I love them, and since you just had to have that one, looks like you do to, how much you got her for ($?)

The spot on the hood is a dent, not rust.

That is all the more reason to get it. I would of taken it too.
Is this one a parts truck for you super cab, or what are you plans for it? I'd say get to be good friends with the owner of a junkyard for free or extreamly cheap parts, if it's not your parts truck.

i've got a '78 hood, see my gallery. it's on the blue truck. the cab is better than the one on your truck too for that matter. and the doors. all i really need is engine parts. dont know what i'm gonna do with the D60 yet.

She's worth restoring! Especially a short box. They are not all that common, and I would love to own one. I've had regular and Super cabs, but no shortbox trucks. The floors are nothing to fix; same goes for cab mounts, if they are bad too. The junkyard will be your friend! Good luck!
