That looks like a ton of work. And a ton of fun! Enjoy the ride man, because it's probably going to be rough...

No rust GA car. I think I’m going to be okayThat's gonna be a project. Lack of use is abuse, you're gonna have your work cut out for you getting that back to ship shape.
How's the frame?
Leather is nice with no cracking just wrinkles typical of aged leather. Steering wheel is very nice. Jump seats seem to have been stored in the barn with lots of dust but look good after wiping off surface dirt. Luckily no animals moved in while it was sitting. Found a large snake skin in the engine compartment so maybe he kept the mice out. Just needs a good clean up.What’s the interior like?

I’m in the Ball Ground area
Clean up and lube float mechanism. Change fuel pump and strainer then run it. Seen worse that are still in service after working on 5 years ago. How’s tank? Probably has lots of rust/stuff in the bottom. That can be cleaned as well.
Things just got more expensive
So I followed the gas tank removal instructions on another post on this incredibly helpful site...but the gas tank won’t clear the frame and the rear drive shaft. The crimped tank edge can’t clear no matter how I tilt the tank. I’m 99.9% sure the tank is original as the truck is 100% original. I’m doing this in my driveway with no lift, etc other than a hand jack. The protective gas tank cover dropped out easy enough just can’t get the tank from the tight space. Any recommendations other than to take off that rear shaft? Thanks in advance for suggestions!I just dealt with the exact same problem. You're going to want to pull the tank and de-rust the heck out of it.
