Good price, would hate to see that get scrapped. It looks to have an Obeco Cattle/Grain body on it, those are nice and reflect old craftsmanship, believe they are made of oak. I have a much newer one '64 F600 with the same body on it.
Concerns I would have is dealing with the tires for it, (probably those dangerous 2 piece or 3 piece rims)some people still work on them but most shops don't. I spent close to $1500 to get tires and 1 piece rims for mine, tires were used, as were the rims, just did not want to fool with em, though properly done, should be safe, just the thought of what happens when one comes apart.
Brakes, no idea what that era truck has, hydro boost like mine with a single master cylinder for both axles, you rupture a line or a wheel cylinder in one or lose that vacuum booster, not much left except a pump or two on the pedal and the emergency brake. I would like to set mine up for 2 master cylinders or one with 2 reservoirs, I don't run it that much, it has paid for itself, handy size truck to have for some of the implement collecting you are doing. Must be a flathead V8, Y block V8's were the next generation mine has its original 292 y block.
Looks like its been under cover all those years, kind of a nice find.
