Is it worth it?

I'm slowly trying to restore my '77 F-250. I've got a good cab and set of fenders to work with. The biggest need right now is a good bed. I found a '74 F-250 Lariat 2WD for $400. I went and checked it out. The engine is blown. The cab is a little rough, along with the passenger door. The bed is pretty good, along with the driver side door, pretty good interior, nice grill, fenders, and hood.

I imagine the price is worth it just for the bed, but would there be anything else of any value from this since it's not a 4x4? The interior is probably the best part, being a Lariat. I'd like to keep the bed and part out the rest to recoupe some of my money.

The bed mounts probably won't line up, so that will be a pain to make work. The interior might be worth the trouble, but not much of the body.
