Rusty 3/4 ton chevy, should be fun

This is a friends truck thats been sitting in his barn for the last 15 years. Were both young-ins, his grandfather used to own a chevy dealership and take all the trade-ins to the farm to beat on and this was the last one up before the dealership closed (1981). Were planning on building this as a work/towing truck (with the occasional off-road adventure). bedliner is being put everywhere (frame, floors, underbelly etc.), were not even planning on painting the body, except maybe the bottom foot-foot1/2 with bedliner to keep the rust away. My friend doesnt have a lot of money to do this either and we both go to school so we'll work most saturdays. The truck has a 292 I6 with a 4 speed, or three speed w/granny gear, havent identifed the transfer case, a 12 bolt rear and a dana 44 front drum brakes all around. Were disassembling the truck now, but the build plan includes a 4 inch lift, new body mounts and possibly body lift lots of new sheet metal a 14 bolt and dana 60 (for the disc brakes, 14 bolt will be converted) and power brakes/steering. Were not looking to buy too many new parts and were not buying replacment panels just cheap sheet metal from a distrubutor near by. I just put up random pics, more will come eventually.
