71 c20 Stepside Longbed Project

[kkaa607]

Hi Guys and Gals,
I am starting a new project for my 16 yr old daughter who insist on having an old truck. Found this 71 chevy needing a home after a father and son attemted a restore and bailed out halfway through. The truck is mechanically sound and has the current inspection and tags including a clear title. It seems they tried a home made paint job on it so it definately needs a paint job which is scheduled for next week. I have only had it a couple of weeks but seem to enjoy learning and fixing and driving. It has the original straight 6 with 3 speed + granny on the floor, starts up everytime. I have taken it aroung the neighborhood a few times and does a little rewirring for the voltage regulator to work properly. Any hints tips or warnings are appreciated as I dig into this project. I am posting a few pics of the truck in the condition it sits in right now. Thanks
