Need Help-New Project

[JimmyCriswell]

I have a 68 chevrolet c10 custom. I had to replace lifters and pushrods as 2 pushrods broke. Will be firing her up over the weekend.

I need to know what makes the most sense in terms of a build order.
So far thinking in order:
Rust Issues (inner and outer rockers on both sides, front a pillar supports, both kick panels
Primer for protection along with cheap paint job temporarily
Power Steering
start on Interior (needs carpet, seat pad and cover, and paint
Drop Kit 2/4
Disc Brakes

Will be doing work to keep it driveable and make improvements until I can do a full frame-off.

To this point, I will have motor running Friday, All safety equipment works, purchased outer half, a piller, kick panel, rocker panel for driver's side. I plan on getting this all welded in and protected.
Will do passenger side when driver's side is complete. I want opinions on the order I should do things in.

I foresee a frame-off in the truck's future but it will be 5-10 years down the road. Is this sensible or retarded>
