I think it needs a $300.00 tailgate and a $5K paint job after since whatever you do to that tailgate it is never going to look like it came with the truck originally. Then the interior will look bad because it isn't as fresh as the exterior. And the engine bay will need freshening because every time you open the hood......
If you truly value; and are willing to pay a premium for originality I would look for a better preserved example.
