You're right about the money part. Like the posts here have shown, if you decide to get rid of it there'll be a line of prospective buyers.

I always liked the looks of the '66 Chevy Caprices and a few years back picked one up for cheap. It's a nice straight solid car but needed total restoration- all new interior, suspension rebuild, didn't have an engine, etc. I made big plans to fix it up, ordered the repro parts catalogs, etc.
Then I looked on ebay and found out I could buy a nice, complete, running, drivable car for about what the interior alone would have cost me. So now mine's going on ebay as soon as I have time to air up the tires and get pics etc. Got too many old tractors I'd like to own now so I kinda got out of old cars.
So in other words, whether or not you decide to take the plunge on this pickup is up to you- if you'll enjoy the project and the work involved- I'd say go for it. If you'd just like to have a nice old IH truck you can probably buy a better one for less than you'll invest in this one. But one thing to keep in mind, old cars/trucks ain't like tractors- the resale value on a particularly nice restoration will be much more likely to pay you back on a car or truck.
