67 GMC Fleetside start

sorry guys, i don't have pics yet, and i'm completely new to this site, and i'm just starting my build. so i'm sorry if this isn't the correct place for this

i have a 67 GMC Fleetside that i've had since i was 18 years old. yep, i was a broke kid, saved up and bought this on my own. and a big YES, it's my first vehicle. that was over a decade and a half ago.

anyways, i feel like a loser posting here with such nice projects that everyone has. well, i finally have some money saved up and this is what i'm taking out of my truck and what i'm putting in:

out:
late 70s olds rocket engine (350) - headers
350 turbo trans

putting in:
350 chevy engine
.040 over. summit racing cam - summit racing flat to pistons - high flow oil pump - metal clip retention style valve seals - all new bearings in cam crank piston rod - distributor rebuilt with summit racing kit - holley carburator - hooker headers - 3hp sbc high torque starter
-poly motor mounts
-89 vette tpi system with painless wiring - so the holley setup and distributor is coming out
-front disc brakes with brake booster (currently all drums)
700r4 trans


the outside i plan on sanding myself and teaching myself about body work. i have some rust under my cab and the parts that tie down the cab to the frame seem really rusted. has anyone encountered this before?

i'm sure someone has a similar setup than what i'm starting with. i don't have much money, but this is a huge part of my savings going to this. so i will be back to saving again to do more, but it's a start.

i'll try and get pic of my new setup soon.
