81 Pickup should I buy it?

Hey, checking out this truck, thoughts? Price is good, but it'll probably need a new head. FL Fender and door need replaced or work, needs a windshield. steering column is roughed up a bit, but everything on it works.

I know nothing about these trucks. Few goodies though, nice front bumper, running boards, roll bar, rear bumper is ok. I'm interested, and I want a project, just don't know if I want one this big right now. But can't beat 600 obo.

And he'll drop it off here.

Oh and I've always been a full sized truck guy (mostly K5 Blazers) so I'm out of my element a bit, but did a bunch of work to my wife's 94 4runner with a 3.slow, so I'd imagine it'd be easier

Its a project. Id snap it up, specially if hes delivering. He said knock on #4...so plan on a rebuild. Needs work...but thats half the fun.

These are getting harder and harder to find.

Ya and I like projects, but I'd also like to drive it at first. At that price, even a new long block would still be fine, 1-2k. Then I worry how the tranny and axles are, since it it was partially taken apart, I couldn't test drive it.

And I also have a problem with projects But I do really want it, and been wanting a smaller rig for a while, kinda burnt out on full sized rigs. Just moved from WA and I know they're over priced and sought after there, this same vehicle would be at least a grand up there, so I was trying to see what they're worth here. But either way, I could get it and do quite a bit to it and be at 3000 or so.
