Picked this up today!

So Ive been trying to get my auto body guy to sale me this truck for a while now. well today he finally sold to me! Im new to this old of a truck I have a 66 c10 swb step side and a 69 short wide. This 6v truck is a new ball game.. I did some prep work on the body today with a little clr and a scout bright pad to remove the bulk of the big rust and paint chips. Going to wet sand it tomorrow to blend the paint edges so i can clear coat it.

Thing I want to do:
1 lower it. I dont really want to bag it but its not totally out of the question
2. wheels and tires Looking for some 8 lug baby moons
And thats about it

Here is a start. I found it using the search at the top of this page. It was only the first on the list.
Have fun working on it!
