As much as I love cars/trucks, I would much rather spend time with my wife and kids. I'm done with big projects for the time being, anyway.

A project like the one you have on your hands is HUGE. Not necessarily intrusive if you are single, but a lot of work and $$ nonetheless. All that being said, I'd probably just sell it as is, unless you have the time and space to part it out.
The deal is, I work for an restoration company. So I've already purchased fenders, rockers, cab corners, floor patches, floor braces, lower cowl patches. Spent $850 on a pair of NOS doors, another $425 in a bed floor. I think i'm just going to forget about the truck for a week or two and rehash things.
