Welcome. I would get it to run and drive as inexpensively as possible. Drive it a while until you make up your mind on how you want to proceed.

Holy Sheep dip, Batman!!! I've never seen a bed rusted like that!!!

First thing on my agenda would be to clean it up, and see how much rust the rest of the pickup has....
