newby, my son just got aa 65 longbed

[ochretoe]

First off I want to say hi to everyone. I plan to pic some brains with my boy's new project. Now for the details. My son, who is 14, just bought a 65 longbed this week. He has big plans of what to do to it before he can drive next year. My first question is where do most folks go for parts? The truck has a 250 inline and three on the tree. It runs very good but has a few electrical gremlins and needs some body work. Nothing major just a few holes and dents and a new wood bed floor. My son has worked hard this last year to get the funds to buy this truck and I don't want him throwing money away on over priced stuff. He works 3 nights a week stocking shelves and cleaning up at a corner store near the house. He is pretty handy and learns fast. He has helped me over the last 5 years work on my 74 Bronco so I know he's up to it. Also, what books are a must for this truck? If anyone has any sugestions or helpful hints feel free to pass them along, and thanks in advance.
