I picked up a 1948 3600 series 3/4 ton pick-up with all the original equipment. It needs a little work, it's been sitting in the weather for 17 years, but has very little rust damage. Does anyone know if this model is worth restoring?

Depends on how much you like it.Trucks have increased in value the last 10 years.

IF you are restoring a car thinking you can make some money DON'T! If you are restoring a car as a labor of love go for it! You rarely make a profit on any car that is PROPERLY restored!
I am going to grow up someday!

No one but some one who provides services will make money on a restoration. I'm doing a 48 Fleetline did all the work myself and have over 10K invested so you know I ain't in for a profit!
