Actually alot of show guys would love it. Especially if they have a 1960 C10 or other 1960 GM car or truck.
They would retro-store it from ground up with all modern drive line, suspension, interior and a custom retro styled roll back, then use it to haul thier show cars.

Looks like the rockers panels are the only thing that are gone, everything else could be saved, nothing a welder, a hammer and a dollie couldn't fix.

Ford was competitve in looks pre 1957, then they went to that ugly stage from 57-66. Still not horriable, but not pretty and got spanked by looks from chevy's.
During that time the 62-72 chevy's were HOT! No one did or has touched them for looks to date. I would love to see a retro of that come out. I might would have to try to buy one for a weekend cruiser if they did.
67-72 ford had a nice look with the revesed ridge running the length of the truck. But still didnt compete with the C10
73 they both Ford and chevy went backwards and got uglier as did almost everything else in the 70's-80's.

gets down to personal preference I guess. I liked the looks of the fords in those years you mention.. and my all time fav ford truck is a 76-77 F250 4x4. Nice trucks and the interiors on them were leaps ahead of the gm stuff. Can't even mention dudge.. they defined ugly.

Nice pics!
My guess is that truck has only been sitting there 5 years or so. It would be in a lot worse shape (less paint, more bullet holes, etc...) if had been there 10 or more years, IMO.
