Cool truck, but you'll spend $20k making it into a nice $8500 truck. They just don't sell for much.

Ad wording never ceases to amaze me. At least he shouts a picture of how much tin worm rot there is, to give us a view of how bad it would be to restore, after telling us "it's pretty solid. " Uh, no. It's not. 
Shame, cause it's pretty cool!

This is unibody only in the sense that the cab and bed are contiguous.  These have a separate frame very similar to a Datsun Roadster.

Ah! That makes the rot slightly ​​​​​​ easier to deal with! Still WAY over optimistic in their pricing; but then in todays asking prices... maybe not! Just to rich for me. crying

I had one of those a long time ago , after trying to start it I found out it was dead with water in the crankcase and at the time was not worth fixing , 

It was so long ago I do not remember what color it was !

I predict these are eventually going to skyrocket in value. They have been overshadowed by the 1600/2000 Roadsters and 510s but they will have their day as they are so much rarer.

Rare does not mean valuable. Not many people interested in them, and those that are, are getting older. Lots of rare cars are cheap for that reason.

Are those 6 lug wheels?!

I saw the 6 lug, as well. No clue how much smaller than the late 60s trucks (6 lug also) it is, but wheels look mighty familiar!
