Surface rust isnt bad. Just get some sandpaper (220/240 grit) sand down till you get rid of the rust and then primer and paint the area.
Dents are a differnent. Depending on how big the dent is and the area the dent is. A Dent in the finder or door might be not hard since you could poud out the dent from the other side. Harder areas to get to will require a tool from a body shop. I dont know what its called but basicly it welds a ribbet and then pulls the dent out. The ribbet is then cut and sanded down.
Hope that helps.

if the dent is bad, or the panel is rusted, you could always go to the junk yard and take the panel of another truck if you find one. (this will work fine if your going to paint the truck)

the problemis that we only got 1 junk yard withing like 50 miles and it has like 100 cars and that is it

Sounds like a good deal. Maybe you can offer you mom a deal. Cash + some gas money. Tell her you can easily turn around and sell the truck of the same amount if not more.

im sure am trying hard to get it at least now she is leaning toward yes so i might have a LUV for my first car hopefully
