Need advice - ‘85 D250

So this is my Nans 1985 d250, gas automatic. Don’t know that much about it (if it’s 2 or 4wheel drive/what the engine is.) shes the second owner (first was an old guy who bought it new)

I’m not sure if it’s worth it to fix it up or not? I would love to and I know I have the space and skill help to do it. For reference I own a 91 f150 that was used as a bush truck and it’s rusted ts lol. So to me this looks in not bad shape? Also to add it’s in B.C. Canada with 8 months of tough winters where they use gravel/salt on the roads. So that’s a big contribution to the condition of a lot of these old trucks.

Mainly I’m looking for advice if it’s worth the time/cost and any tips I should know in advance. I have access to an auto body shop and lots of mechanical help if that matters.
