Where do I start? (sorry kinda long)

[redrider036]

Hey, thanks to everybody who is willing to help a newbie out here. I have a 1970 k10 4wd half ton. It is parked on my dads property in Minnesota and I will be picking it up this summer. While i was up there this past winter, I checked the vin and there is a C instead of a K. the truck is 4 wheel drive so I supposed parts where interchanged. Anyway, I am so overwhelmed. The box is rusted out, along with the rockers and inside of the doors about a half inch on the floor. the rest of the floor is good although I have not looked underneath the truck yet. I am renting my house right now so i am concerned about doing too much cutting or welding in my garage, but this truck WILL get done, it means a lot to me. The truck ran and drove great when my Dad parked it, of course, that was six years ago. When I get this truck down here, any opinoins of the best way to get it started would be very appreciated, and I do not take offense to constructive criticism either. I am considering looking for someone who is looking for side work and getting a hand there. Thank you for your time all!
