1968 C10 build

[sambudo]

Well I picked this 1968 C10 up on 10.13.13. I really liked it, as it seemed all original except the rear bumper. I feel I p/u for a decent price. My intensions at first was use it occasionally to haul yard debris to the dump. But now, I'd like it to look good and run and drive well w/o dropping in loads of cash.

So far I have changed all the bulbs and got all the lights functioning correctly. Replaced starter.

After cleaning the engine of oil and grime, changing the oil/filter. I notice it has a nice oil drip. Looks like it might need valve gasket, oil pan and looking at it closer main seal. So now the question is do i pull the engine and when it's out do i rebuild it, or just replace the seals and put it back in.

I plan on dong the wheel bearings in the front, checking out the brakes etc..

I'd like to clean up then drain and replace transmission fluid, Plus the same for the front and rear diffs clean up, inspect, replace gaskets and fluid.

Really not sure were to begin?? any comments??Attachment 1167718

You have to think about what your plans are for the truck. Daily driver, weekend cruiser.. etc.. Also depends on the time and amount of cash you have to spend on it. Always do the important stuff first to keep it safe, brakes, Tires, lights, etc...
