Would the truck be worth 750 if it had no engine in it ? That engine looks like you could salvage some parts off it, but there's a good chance (maybe better than good) you'll be stuffing a new motor in there.
If there's 1000.00 worth of parts hanging off the rest of the truck, you're golden. If not, it's kinda iffy.

ya, i would consider how long its been sitting and how much time/effort your willing to put into the engine. even if it was fine before it was torn down like it is, chances are somethings aged/degraded/rusted/rat filled to the point that if you want to pull it and replace all the components on it, go for it. if you dont want to spend the time/effort to do that, but the body is great, toss a crate motor in it.

either way your in for more money and more time

Default I figured

Thanks guys, kinda figured it was going to need an engine, called the owner and said the Crankshaft was bad.. Yikes: new motor. That's 1 grand or more I rather invest in the 1972 F100 I really want
Thanks All!!
