Operation Blackout

The beginning
This is my 1965 Chevy C-10 rust bucket! I have initial plans to do a complete frame off semi custom truck to be used as a driver not a show truck. I want it nice but and I want it very drivable. My plans are to rebuild the 327. I have a 650 edlebrock with an aluminum intake and a mild cam. I am ditching the three on the tree for a 700R4 automatic transmission. I already have 21/2 dropped spindles and disc brake converting to 5 lug. I am replacing all tie rods, ball joints, etc. I bought a new power brake setup with a complete set of stainless brake lines. I am also swapping out rear end for a 5 lug. Plans are to set it on airbags and run about 31/2 front and 5 in rear. I also removed the tank from inside and I am placing it in the rear. I am also placing the battery behind the seat and my fuse block for easy access. I have a complete new wiring harness. I have a 1990 tilt column that I am going to try and use, have not tried yet. Any advice or comments along the way are appreciated.
