Saving the 68 shortbed stepside

[rnemtp3]

My dad bought this 68 back in the late 80's. I promptly took over and drove it while in high school. The truck was also used by my sister when she was in high school and then dad used it as a work truck until around 05-06. It sat unmoved from sometime at the end of 2005 until this past year when I asked dad if I could fix it up.
It will be a long and slow process working on it when I can and when I get the cash. The motor, a 307, still runs. It has 350, 3 speed transmission and low rearends, 4:10 I think. Manual drums all the way around and power steering. Of course, all the brake lines have holes in them and I will be redoing the whole brake system before actually driving it. The truck has been unchanged since he bought it except maybe an exhaust pipe or some other little thing.
I have been lurking around the board for the past year or two and have asked a few questions. I am sure I will have more when I really get into this build. I already have found a ton of great stuff here. I know that some people will suggest not even starting and looking for something cleaner, however, it has been in the family a while and I want to fix this one up. I look to do the majority of the work myself (and with my dad) so there will be a lot of learning and trial and error in my future.
We would like to put a 350 or 383 in and probably keep the 350 and lower rear ends. There wont be a lot of long distance driving for it. When I drove it in high school it got about 10 gallons per mile.
Anyway, here are some pics because no pics and it didn't happen, right? As I do more work I will post some more.
