If you don't like doing or paying for bodywork, your money might go further on a nicer condition truck up front. Yes, $2500 is tempting as it's fairly original, but every panel on the passenger side is wacked at least once - if you're good with that and plan to drive it like that, then it's not a bad deal. If you are going to fix it, I'd wait - bodywork $ (or frustration) can add up very quickly. It is a nice truck, don't get me wrong, but my gut feeling is you'd be happier with a better starting point in the long run.
