It looks in similar condition to our yellow van which we purchased earlier this year, only you at least still have the full length hoodling intact, and a 4spd manual....we too thought minimal rust until we soda blasted, but you will probably be lucky...nice van and nice colour, and original paint with blackouts...funny how they liked to paint everything black, black must have been the in thing of the time, we are changing all back to tan, and have bought most of it ready for when ours comes back from the paintshop.....we also changed the motor back from a gas/petrol run 308 to an unleaded 253, all fun and games for you now.....good luck with the resto...a lot of work but rewarding as each step is taken lucky you have the manuals, we don't for the yellow van so she is a mystery, but we do for the Red van of ours.
