The truck will depend on your expertise with sheet metal. Aftermarket rocker panel and floor parts, and collision sheet metal is available for 1960's through 1970's from many places, including JC Whitney. They have all the moldings and weatherstrips, too. Older trucks you might have to shape your own sheet metal.

Old tractors can be fun, too. You might find yourself going through a lot of junk yards and swap meets to find the right part.

Of course you can use the restored truck for the trip. Does this help the dilemma?
