I have pulled many a truck out of the weeds, and while all needed work, a couple could have been refurbished in small ways over time, and left alone for the most part.

Clint has the right idea, find a super nice original truck, and then carefully do what it needs to keep it in good condition over time.

The hardest part of that process is finding the nice original truck!

I get a lot of pleasure from fixing items on a truck in such a way that most people will still see the truck as a unmolested original.

I think most trucks require enough work that many people are better off tearing the whole thing apart, and rebuilding it from the ground up. That is just the nature of the way these trucks were treated over their lives, used hard and put away wet.
