New Guy with lots of questions

I stopped by to look at the truck today. The body is really straight. I didn't see any dents. The frame what I could see looks rust free. I didn't crawl around under it or anything but I'm pretty sure it's been an SC truck it's entire life. Like he said the motor is taken apart. I didn't look to see if the block was cracked since there was a cover on the open area but he said it was. I talked to my buddy and he's willing to do the engine work what ever direction I go. I'm gonna get it towed to the house and get it cleaned up and inspect it deeper this weekend. I did notice the steering wheel wouldn't tilt up when I pulled the lever. Gotta figure that one out since I'm 6'3. The paint job is probably from 2015 or 2016... maybe later. I remember my dad paying for it to be painted as a gift for my nephew when my brother gave it to him.
