You should start with a better truck. That one looks decent compared to many, but clearly it needs a ton of body work.

Since CC Sammy has gone through all the work of making reproduction beds that are almost better than new I wouldn't spend a premium on a truck with a bed. Any PW bed is bound to be beat up and you will most likely be money ahead to just buy new if you want a high end finished product. He also is making new fenders, but they are $1,000 a pair. Well worth it if you need a set, but not to put on a truck you paid $6,000 for that also needs new running boards and a new bed.

Expectations are as always the most important part. If you want a beater to drive around town and the truck seems mechanically sound this might be a good buy if the price is right. For a frame off restoration to top standards it is not a good choice unless you want to spend a ton of money.

Just my thoughts based on watching others build a pigs foot into a silk purse.

By the way. The reason your link to all the pictures didn't show up is most likely because you put the URL in without a title. Try a link to the album again and this time put the URL in the URL box and make a title like "More pictures of the PW" in the Title box. That should allow the link to show up.
