My first 60-66 truck. Garage find. PO 39 years.

I am wondering what I do now. I had heard about this truck for years through family members in Colorado Springs, Colorado, but just recently got the call the owner was finally ready to sell. It has been sitting in the garage, not running for 20 years. No rust except a spot on inside of fender up high. I would like to drive it home to NY State but realize it is going to need a lot of work to get it into running condition. It is C10 with 283, 3 OT with overdrive. No PS or PB. Can anyone local to Colorado Springs recommend a garage that could do all the work to get it in safe running condition? Preferably someone who knows about these trucks? I have owned more than 35 67-72 trucks but know nothing about this 1965 model truck. Also wondering if I paid too much for it at $10K. It has been painted once a long time ago. Thanks, George
