Hello....new to the board and new to owning a C-10

[RAWDOGG]

I just traded a 92 camry I was using as a commuter car for a good running somewhat rough looking 1971 C-10. I plan to pull the body and do a frame off, which I have never done before.....i would like to ultimately bag it, but not sure how soon that will happen as I don't have the experience nor tools to "c" notch it, so I might for the interim put a nice lower kt on it, while I go through everything else.....Any recommendations on orders of magnitude? i think i want to tclean and sand off the original paint and clean up the minor dents then primer it. Is it advisable to remove all body parts and sand/clean then spray outside/inside with a quality primer? Any thoughts/advice/insight would be greatly appreciated!
