Very nice truck, the floaty feel to it is standard, you'll get used to it.
Does it still have the drivers sill tank? That black cap thing is the access hatch to the sill tank filler.
If you are going to wait to start the project, make sure the front carpet is removed so the floor can dry out. Check under the spare wheel for more rust due to people changing the flat tyre in the rain and putting a wet wheel in the back.
Is there any rust in the inner guards, near the brake booster and same spot on the other side?
Are you going to do a full restore or just get it running and drive it?
Also I wouldn't just check the cooling hoses, unless you know when they were replaced last I would replace all of them. It's not worth cooking an engine for the small cost of a hose kit. The last couple I have bought I got from Roverlord (on here).
Good luck, I will be watching with interest.
