Re: Need opinions
A total no-brainer here. Preserve it.
Honestly, unless you have a ton of time and money that you are trying to burn, the choice is obvious. Also, the truck won't be worth any more after a restoration than it is now, maybe even less.
The reason is, what you have NOW is a rarity. With some care and knowhow, that truck will cleanup quite nicely, and for cheap. Any wear or flaws that still show will not appear like neglect, but rather honest character and proof of a solid, unmolested, well maintained vehicle.
Patina may not be your thing, but even in the highest of high end collector cars, original unrestored examples are getting the most attention and bringing the biggest money.
It's YOUR truck, so do what makes you happy, but after a restoration it's going to be just another restored work truck. there are lots of those.
