What I would suggest is build the 70 up, however, as mentioned earlier about buying a newer truck for 3 - 5K and put the rest towards the 70. You can score some deals on 88 - 98 Chev/GMC Full Size Trucks, in the 3 - 4K range that are nice as daily drivers. And then put the rest of the money into your 70. Depending on how much work is needed to the 70 and how soon you need a reliable daily driver. My 68 is still in project status because I have not purchased the engine and trans I want for it but I still have to tear the swb apart which will be in the spring time and go from there.

HTH,
Charlie
