So a bit about the truck would be helpful:
2 or 4wd?
What got wrecked? Front end, rear side??
So this thing has been sitting for 30 years after the wreck?

Not much information to go by. Any pictures, what kind of damage, how bad the damage? May not be as bad as it looks or it may just be a total loss and only good for parts.

It sitting that long, you are going to need to go thru the entire fuel system. The tank and lines are going to be nasty. What will look like rust in the tank is actually gas that has broken down and turned to crud. You can clean the tank or may just want to replace it.

Flush your brake and clutch lines as well. I would suggest just replacing your brake calipers, slave cylinders and master cylinder just because the fluid has broken down as well in it.
