Bump, make an offer

In your opinion would this make an ideal first cruiser for someone looking to get into them? I’m trying to gain as much info as possible and wanted to see how much you think it would take to bring this one up to snuff after the purchase. I live in Florida and have roughly 25k to make one into my dream truck.

IMO - getting an unmolested original rig - where everything is still there is a major benefit - ask me how i know! they all need work but chasing down missing / hacked up parts will consume more time and money than you realize.
if 'dream truck' means everything is resto-mod then it doesnt matter i suppose and i think we all hate to see original survivors fall to bolt on mania

Appreciate the response. Dream truck to me just means a well running mostly original example the way Toyota intended it to be. As close to factory as it can get. That’s what I’m after. I like patina and worn out looking 40’s that will run like a top. This will be my second vehicle so I’m hoping I can have some fun with it at the beach and it not leave me stranded. I’m just looking for a solid starting point where I can learn to work on the rig and also have a solid foundation to bring back to life.

This would be a good candidate. However I got a deposit on it yesterday. I will update if it falls through
