Newbie just bought a 72' C10

I just bought a 72' Chevy C10 locally and will be picking it up Friday. Here is the listing on eBay.

I have two friends (classic truck owners) that I consulted with before making the purchase who gave me some tips to look for any major rust or mechanical problems. I looked it all over and everything looked good. To my suprise there was very minimal rust and no evidence of major patch ups or anything. I drove it and it runs great. I got it from a mechanic who gave me a run down of all the restoration he's done on it personally with all the service paperwork, etc.

I ended up getting it for $4,000. All in all, I feel good about it as it is about 85% restored. I had the money together so I'm not broke and hope I didn't get totally ripped off. This is my first classic truck so I plan on putting a lot of work in on it and really learning the ropes.

My goals are a full restoration to original specs for the most part and I may do some custom tweaks to help improve mpg, etc. I only have a handful of pics and will be posting more and doing a build thread as well.

I will know more once I pick it up of course but any suggestions on where to start? Any comments or ideas to help a newbie? Thanks!
