This is the truck I just bought. I bought it as a running truck, but the seller was less than honest. Turns out that it had two cracked heads and a really bad intake manifold leak. He did a very good job concealing these issues, because it ran pretty good when I bought it. Well I'm taking the engine out and replacing it with a new one, well a reman anyway. Interior is in pretty good shape, as well as the body.

Cylinders. Notice the water ports are completely rusted. I had to poke with a screwdriver because I couldnt get it out with my fingers. #8 had water, look how clean the piston is.

look on the bright side the rings do not need replaced the rings in #8! All joking aside that sucks! It does look like the body is really nice and if you get a decent motor in there you will have a serious truck. have you thought of an LS swap?
