Inherited my grandfathers k20 burb!

So i inherited my grandfathers suburban. Sadly he hasnt been able to drive or walk good since his stroke, so its up to me to take care of the truck. It has been sitting in the same spot for close to 10 years. My uncle got it running a few years ago, so she isnt locked up! My grandfather was a master mechanic and auto repair specialist, till the day he had a stroke, so this truck could be alot worse shape if it wasnt for his expertise.

Im still not sure what year it is, but i do believe it is around 1977-78 with 81+ sheet metal and parts.It was a newspaper truck 20 years ago before he restored it.As you can see..the local salt water air has not been kind to the drivers side! I get the keys tmorrow, so il check it out closer.

It needs, lower drivers fender,door,rear wheel tubs, lower bed and rocker sheet metal. Who sells the best fitting sheet metal? 1973-87chevytrucks has some great prices, and everything i need, that might be my option.

Its got a chevy 350 (maybe a 400), with a turbo 400, warn locking hubs, it is 8 lug. Blue vinyl interior. Basicly its bare bones! It has a rip on the drivers side vinyl, so that will need to be reupolstered. I think theres french fries still stuck in the seats from when i was a little kid!

The plan is to get it running first, get the brakes and tires all set, then comes sheet metal.
