Default Is this mud truck a good deal?

I found a guy selling a 78 chevy mud truck project. It is setup as a cab amd chassis single cab that was running a 4wd with a 400 turbo and flywheel still in it, but no motor. The truck has nearly new mud tires amd descent condition wheels. There is some rust through on the edge of the passenger side fender. The interior is all there minus a door panel. He wants $700 for it. I can get a motor for it from.the junkyard fpr 500-1000 if its a 454 depending on comdition. Is this truck a good deal?

Cool! Anyone else have thoughts??? I only want it as a mud truck, so it wont hardly be going on the road if at all. mostly just dirt roads about a 1/4 mile from the house.
