Project 1966 Chevy Stepside with family history

[NCD1966]

I have a 66 stepside, been in my family since new. My grandfather bought it new and then passed to my dad, then to me when I turned 16.
I have all the original parts, owners manual, and sales receipt for it.
My dad restored the truck back in 1989 but put a lot of bondo in the truck and needs a good restoration again. It had a 250 inline 6 with a 3 on the tree. Now has a 305 V8 with the 3 on the tree.

I finally got the spark to tackle the rust and restore this old truck.

Here is some pics of the past


My grandfather in 1969 on a boyscout campout


The original paperwork (I scan these today)




The 66 when my dad drove it to college


Dad restored it in 1989



As it is today


has a good bit of rust. It will take alot of welding and patching.
