Brave soul indeed, were any of the other parts laying around in the woods, or is this it?

Remember do small sections where you can see progress. It helps alot trust me. It is amazing the sense of accomplishment you get by completing a specific task.

I think you should name that truck Lazarus once you get it finished.

It is certianly a long way toward the grave, but it looks like there's enough there to salvage as a good truck. Like everybody said, take it slow, and one section at a time. Devote some research and money to a rust killer/preventer to salvage what good metal you've got, rather than grinding it too thin in order to get to fresh metal. MHO
