I got a deal on this "rad" truck and I'm looking for advice on what to use for detailing it. Do I go with a cleaner or a wax/cleaner?

I like the composition on both these shots. Can’t help on your question though, I just drive to the car wash and I don’t think you’ll be doing that!

Check out "Griot's Garage", they have everything you might need to fix that diamond-in-the-rough except time. chase
P.S. Nice photos

It's called OSHO. It is a chemical you buy at your local parts place.What is does is neutralize the rust and prevents further rusting.

I'd call Chip Foose and let him worry about it.

Thanks everyone, for your kind advice. I kind of like the "patina" as is.

Normally after a thorough wash and dry, I start with a clay bar, but for you... maybe a hedge trimmer.

I believe I’d begin with a tow truck.
