The steering wheel alone is worth about $100. It doesn't look like it's in all that bad of shape really.. The rear drums are probably just stuck from sitting.

 

By the way. I need a steering wheel also lol. The one in it is down to the metal somehow

This is a totally savable, worthwhile 720 truck. Fix it. Save it. Wayno is right: the brake cables are rusty and stuck. I had a 620 with this problem and I just never used the parking brake. Once you get it unstuck, use it often to keep it working. Blue is not my favorite color because the interior looks shabby when blue get tired. But hell, that is one straight truck- enjoy it!

Sweet. I think she's worth a little time. I have a silver 86 with the power options like yours. I love these trucks. If you end up needing rear end parts, I have a spare axle as well. Pm that list we talked about and we will see about getting you on the road.

Congrats.  That truck has another 500,000 miles in with a little TLC.  Be sure and check the frame over real good as I have seen them rusted out completely.  Better safe than sorry. Nice find.

 

If you end up deciding to part it out Dibs on the complete door panels with switches.

Power windows was fairly rare.. only available in late model 720's. ST package is what you want.. is it EFI?

 

Honestly, probably the most desirable of 720's you have right there. It'll clean up.. if it's not rusted in half.

it's carburetored. Frame is solid. The bed, front wheel well, and that spot under the hood is the only rust I found unless the floor pans are and I just can't tell
