Hello,
Quite likely this truck is JDM.
Yes, there is more rust than expected.
If you are not familiar with body repair, you may want to get somebody (with experience in body work) to tackle the rust.
Some rust spots need a patch. Others may need a replacement panel.
From the windscreen back, you can use panels from newer trucks, namely 71 Series if you have to replace them. The front clip is a bit harder to source.
Make sure you apply all the rust protection coats you can. And keep your truck well-oiled after that.
Regarding the engine, the search function is your friend.
The repairs ahead make excellent occupational therapy. And a lot of fun.
Juan
