opinions on saving an M1000 military K30

[gmachinz]

Okay....I have an opportunity to "save" an 85 M1000 from continued duty as a farm truck backup. It's got a little bit of typical body rust....lower fenders, cab corners, box sides a little, etc. It's been seeing farm duty for the last 6 year's. The current owner swapped out the 6.2 diesel for a good running 454, it still has all of its original drivetrain with 4.56 locking Dana 60 and 70 diffs, still retains its 24V starting system, etc. and the plain interior is beyond clapped out. The underneath is super solid still though....the guy wants $2500 for it and it runs strong and quick with no mechanical issues.....just rough around the edges. What are everones experiences with an M1000 truck? My wife will kill me if I bring it home but I've always wanted one.....what do you guys think?
