I don't think the registration process would be impossible anywhere. Just different in some states. That being said, I see a really nicely built cab with -0- rust. I say with an aftermarket bed and new sheet metal, properly painted and undercoated, you have a truck that will serve you the entire rest of your life. You will also be able to pass it down to your kids and they can enjoy it for years. Most of us are cobbling together 50 something year old trucks that have held up through abuse and weather for a long time. Plus the fact that yours will be garage kept helps. Who was able to do that in the late 60s and early 70s. Not too terribly many.
