When is it too much rust?

Hello everyone I'm new to the site (posting that is) I've been lurking around the past 3-4 months. I just got this 65 GMC lwb truck for free but it's got a lot of rust. It's been sitting since about 85 with the bed full of junk so there wasn't anything left of the bed. I guess it was my barn find minus the barn. lol When is it too much in your opinion. My plans are for drop members (Porterbuilt) smallblock w/700r4, disc brakes, 5 lug wheels shop truck type look in suede paint. Even though I don't have anything invested in this truck should I look for a better starting point. I know this is going to need a different bed, at least 1 door maybe a fender and hood. I see I can get patch panels for most of the truck but not sure if that will work for this truck yet. I just got it home last night so I haven't got to tear into it yet. The frame seems solid but the hulk hauler guy who brought it home thinks the frame is toast?? I think he just wanted another car for the scraper. Anyway your thoughts or opinions are appreciated.
