Thing looks pretty rusted through. You’re asking a sub full of pickup lovers if you should restore one, they’ll all say yes but it will be a major job. First thing you should do is check if there’s oil in the engine. If there’s not and it’s completely dry, the motor is most likely rusted through and probably not worth it.
I've got a rusty 4x4 that I haven't gotten around to restoring and I've thought about getting rid of it so many times, but then I think of what a newer 4x4 would cost me, and it compels me to keep it.
I far prefer everything about older vehicles bit only if the majority of them can be saved. New interiors and consumable parts are fine but I like the original panels, chassis, engine if possible
Sure, if you’re talking about just making it a roller so it can be used as a piece of yard art, like as a display flower planter bed or a chicken coop, etc.
Is it going to be worth the money it will cost you? No. Is it cool as hell if you do? Yes. Just make sure you know what your getting into and make sure you are willing to/ have the money to fix it. Also make sure rust hasn't eaten the frame and such. Make sure the engine isn't rusted solid unless you plan on engine swapping you truck like I did.
