If the rust isn't a structural issue, $500 isn't bad at all for a work truck.  I see clean ones of that era still going for $1-2k.

i bought my 73 for $500 it was just a 86 frame with a 73 body resting on 2x4s

I had a 77 I got for $800 was bone stock and I was the 3rd owner, i abused the hell out of that truck and the only REAL problem I ever had was the fuel pump went out on me. I put many freeway miles on that truck with the 3 speed auto between Boise, Id and ontario, Or. It was a good lil truck but I got tired of the slammed 2wd so I sold it and got my 83 4x4
