SC to AZ it should have pretty nice metal. Looks like a professional buffing/detail could make that paint look pretty nice and allow you to keep that very rare "survivor" status. Just do all the mechanical.

Sadly, I bought it site unseen (pics only). As I've done this enough times, I should have known better, but I don't think I would have cared as I wanted an original black short bed truck. It has a bunch of rot. The bed itself was pretty bad. Rockers, really bad. And then the transporter was inept and crashed a car on the transporter into the front of it, somehow, badly damaging a fender, a headlight, the grille, etc.
So, for as much as I wanted to keep the paint/patina (it had been repainted once in some areas, so it wasn't totally original), it's getting a total redo. At least I'm using single stage....
