If it were me, I would shy away from making costly rust repairs and search for a rust free truck. That may mean traveling to another region to bring one home, but the money would be well spent.

N2TRUX makes a good point here. Whether any of us want to admit it or not, it doesn't take much in the way of rust repair to equal or exceed the price of a better starting point.
That said, the patina-look is still pretty popular. You could just catch up the service work, drop the truck on some wheels, and roll out. Worry about fixing the rust or bodywork issues later (or not at all, your choice).
