Pretty low rust for our area. Is that the battery box access on the passenger side floor board?
Looks pretty solid

Yeah it's not too bad. I'm not sure about the battery box I know nothing about these trucks at all... We looked at a couple Dodges of this year but my wife really seems to like the Chevy. It's smaller she just wants something smaller...
This will definitely get cut down to a short bed...
And so begins another new project. Lol

yes the battery drops down through the p/s floor. 
My 63 Econoline van was like that. Had a cool cover with a twist handle to lock it in place

Now to find a rolled Colorado- drop your cab and bed on the frame and be done with it!
Or Dakota.

A Chebby body on a Dodge frame? Oh, the sacrilege!
That’s how I roll. May do it with my dad’s ratty old. 49 Ford!! My Ford buddies even agree it would be cool!
Good cab corners, thats the first place to rust out, those look good. Do you have the corner glass? Those are hard to find. You may be able to find aftermarket, they make alot of parts for those trucks, very popular trucks to restore.
Wifes truck?

Looks good! Put a 250 Jimmy straight six in it, it'll be different (not a smallblock), and those were the GM engines to soup up before SBCs!
Or spend a little coin and drop a 302 jimmy I6 In it or a 270 if you can’t find a 302 reasonable. The 302’s are getting pricey.
