More power to you. There are a number of old rig refurbishment threads on this forum and those who have done it will provide advice. It is sad, however, when a project like this bogs down for health or other reasons and never gets finished. It is likely that the old appliances, plumbing, 12 and 120 volt systems electrical systems will require replacements and upgrades not to mention engine, cooling system,transmission, brakes, dash AC, wheels and tires, suspension,(etc.) that will need repairs or upgrades to make this sows ear into a silk purse that you can trust for serious motorhoming. Think it over, it's a lot like renovating a termite ridden dry rotted old house.

I hear you.

And I agree with you.

But, you know, these old Dodges are tough.

That said, it's hard to deny the tolls taken by years gone by.

I like this old girl, but no, I wouldn't to take her on a serious road trip.

Still, it would be nice to get her running well enough to visit a State Park once in a while.

If she's mechanically fit, I'd go for it. As stated on my post above, all that work minus the water heater and wrenching cost me well under $1,000. With prior carpentry experience, these things are a bit different from home or commercial construction; kind of like a cross between home construction and automotive repair but in the the end, prior experience with problem solving, solution seeking and innovation will get you there.
