I usually like to do things that make a project easier to drive first. It's easy to loose interest if it's not a driver. Also, the mechanical stuff isn't as hard and doesn't require as many specialized tools. You can do a lot of repairs on these old trucks with just a basic tool set. More involved repairs can still be done with loaner tools from the parts store. Once you have been driving and enjoying something for a while, it makes it easier to take things further and go for harder bodywork-type repairs.
