If you have a trailer readily available I would personally throw a service body on it. Around here a lot are used by the electric company so they are nice fiberglass bodies that wont rust. Can be found around here cheap enough from utlility companies as all they run are those international trucks. Then you can put all your tools on that and have a welder and tools available if you do any tractor pulling or just have a good service trukc around the farm. The reason I say if you have a trailer available you miight want the pickup bed for hauling and moving items but if you got a trailer just use that. Might be a slight pain dragging that around but not too bad. Then you can buy all sorts of toys gen/welder, air compressor. CHECK THE PARKING BRAKE. I cant tell from your pic what model or year the truck is but some of those old internationals (and alot of old gm topkicks) had r n d 3 2 1 gear shifter and the parking brake on the floor on a handle. The parking brake was then just a little pad on the driveshaft. Have seen many of those trucks run by inexperienced drivers that the parking break got left on. Also those parking brakes are not the best and have seen 2 instances of guys loading tractors and 1 a guy loading a backhoe behind the ttruck and got pretty jerky w/them and the trucks went by by. Just somethign to watch for. If the truck has air brakes disregard.
But alot had the parking brake on the drive shaft.
