New to this! trying to get resources and help

[deceitfulpeace77]

Hey my name is josh, I am new to attempting "restore" my truck, I am fine with light mechanics but anything beyond that, well, I can get it apart and go....crap...lol. so I am just looking for resources and help with my truck.
Its a 77 chevy short box, lowered, supposed 383 stroker, i dont believe it I think its just a 350, muncie (?) 4 sp manual, the only think wrong with it is the passenger side floor board has pretty bad cancer and a hole about 6". I am active duty military and have access to a full fledged shop for 6 bucks an hour, including a paint booth.
I hope to do make it a driver that i take out one or twice a week, and eventually put a better heart in it and do some passes.....and money is not very plentiful lol, so, all that to say...any help or suggestions would be awesome!
Thanks all,
Josh
