Welcome. I would get it to run and drive as inexpensively as possible. Drive it a while until you make up your mind on how you want to proceed.
Year or series specific discussions are here - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/forumdisplay.php?f=3
FAQ section for questions (before you ask) are here - http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=646108
Good luck and have fun with it.

Holy Sheep dip, Batman!!! I've never seen a bed rusted like that!!!

First thing on my agenda would be to clean it up, and see how much rust the rest of the pickup has....
