Drove my truck to work today. It is nearly impossible to drive that truck completely one handed. 
I also found out it has a really small turning radius, something along the lines of 13-15'

Rust holes at the back of the bed
Smashed grill, and slightly repaired bumper filler. supposedly one of the previous owners hit a deer

rust hole under the cab (easy fix)
someone's genius repair
the whole cab floor with my half vinyl carpet

And today I ordered some parts. Door pins, license plate light sockets and bulbs, and new weather stripping for both of the doors.

runs like a champs, shifts good, clutch feels like it has plenty of material left on it, engine still has plenty of powerWord of advice (and speaking from experience)...don't put to much money into it, it'll be an endless pit and the value of the truck won't go up.
What shape is the motor and tranny in? That's the most important thing.
My plan as of right now is patch up the holes in the cab floor, and the bed floor, then paint it myself and go with it. shouldn't be more than 200 and it will be set for a couple more years at least.

Want to bet some money on that?

Sorry wasn't referring to the $200 part but the couple more years part.
My first car (utter POS
) was a money pit, I'd be replacing something every month. Started with the heater core, next the radiator, after that the alternator gave out, new battery, plugs and wires, brake line, radio, brake pads, tires.........it never stopped. BTW a new car is pretty much the same as a old POS, instead of always buying new parts you're just paying a huge monthly payment. The trick is finding a good happy medium.

It's one thing if you can do that work yourself vs. paying a mechanic. The difference in price can be 10 to 1. If have a local pick and pull you can save even more. For example my truck has a junkyard alternator in it that cost $15.
