Looking for advice for my first truck

[42corsair]

Hello all.

I guess I'll get right into it - I'm looking for some advice to make my first purchase and get into fixing up a classic truck. I know pretty much zero about fixing cars, doing body work, etc - however one of the my goals is to learn by doing.

Here is what I have set for my minimum requirements:

Must be driveable - as I will immediately begin to use as a daily driver.
1969-1971 C10 Longbed
350/350 V8, Auto

What should I look for and what should I stay away from condition wise given that this is going to be my first attempt?

Any input or general advice would be appreciated.

Thanks!
