Looking good, and welcome from the Rust Belt, Pa..

 

Welcome! Read the mega thread stickied at the top. Sounds like you’re putting some money into it, so don’t neglect, and in fact special attention to, the timing belt, water pump, and lower ball joints sections. Can easily turn your very cool truck into a very parts truck.

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! You came to the right place to learn how to keep that truck running. Looks pretty clean underneath. No visible rust that I can see.
