As has been proved here many times nothing is too far gone, for a good man, or woman with a welder, the desire and a strong commitment.

I agree it has been done. My question is should it been done. Unless the vehicle has emotional and family ties some of the rust buckets need to go. Find a nicer one to start with. Save time, money and the marriage.

I will say the passage of time can find fault with those kinds of decisions.
My seemingly logical decision in 1986 to pull the 440, 727, and dana 60 from a rusty 71 R/T Challenger and put it in a 68 Barracuda, then scrap the Challenger hasn't stood the test of time very well

Holy Sheepdip, Batman!!

Of course there’s no comparison between a C10 and that Challenger, but the HO gets to think about it.....more
