She's got a good shell Trostan, and that's a start! Rust you can fix (the guys here can talk you through just about anything) but I'd be lookin at those springs and such to see how they "improved" it and squashed her down like that. Safety first!
How about some pics of the rust, the inside, and anything on her you think is pretty cool? (hood ornaments, radio, tailgate, etc).
edit: Hey wait, is that another long-stepper? Welcome to the club dude!
