Lots of ideas for the truck, first will be getting the hood open and checking out the engine. Sadly it doesn't look like the camper will be salvageable, years of water leakage has rotted out the wood and it would need everything replaced so going to remove it and probably tear it apart and send it off to the dump if no one wants it.
Need to decide on some wheels/tires and start going through it.
