Oh and everything is there. Doors interior etc.

I would start with a photo survey to find what is present and what is missing. Pick out the leaves and sweep out the windblown dirt to look at the sheet metal. Then decide if the missing parts are worth the effort to locate, or if you can substitute or ignore them. Things like gauges can be replaced with parts from the aftermarket truck parts suppliers, but chrome or distinctive bits will be frustration. Glass can be cut as long as it is flat and not too complicated a shape.

The other advice Bob Carriere here gave me was to walk around with a can of penetrating oil and squirt every nut that you think you might have to remove. It might help later on.
