New here wanting opinions and advice

[Carrier2]

Hello to everyone. I have been using the search button with lots of success.

I just purchased a running 72 SWB chevy that needs a lot of TLC and money.

I'm not sure where to start but I thought I would share with you some of the problems and be guided with some advice and opinions, thanks in advance for the help.

The truck needs:
Suspension (They heated the coils and rides horrible and leans through turns)

Tailgate- Did not come with one

Grill- The original is busted up with bad chrome, and would like to stay stock.

Front bumper- does not have one

Mirrors- Would like the ones that hang down from the top of the doors

Bed floor- rusted and wavy, considering wood kit with slightly larger wheelwells.

Rockers and sills- basically only rust on the truck

Engine- It has a nice 350 in it right now with a brand new 350 turbo. I was considering a BB swap but could decide to go with a big-inch small block if I could get the power out of it I would like. I thought I only needed different mounts to swap but have read a few different ideas, is it any tougher than mounts?

I know it is a bunch of ????? but I would like to tap all of the knowledgable people in here. Any and all help is much appreciated to help get this project started.
