It will need a lot of work, yet it's doable. I would get rid of the carpeting and would spray bedliner as one of the first things, get the wiring diagrams, change the hoses, flush and clean the radiator... there is a lot of basic things i'm sure this one needs, yet i'm sure it won't be that hard.

Btw... how much did you pay for it?.

Probably worth more in parts than in the whole, or is that hole?

For sure it'll be less work,
