65 gmc

New to the Forum here, must say that it is already like a new home. I have been browsing the pages for several days and finally have decided to post. I received as a wedding gift, from my amazing bride, a 1965 GMC longbox. The truck had been her dad's and she bought it off of him for me. While he had it, he installed a 327 with camelbacks and got it into running shape, then used it as a garbage hauler.

For the past 5 years it has been my run around summer truck. In August of last year my son was born and i decided that I finally wanted to resto it for him. The only problem is that I have no clue where I should start!

Engine starts and runs like a champ (could use a tune up and carb rebuild). 2nd gear loves to pop out of gear, but I have been making due without. Body is most definitely the part that is going to need the most attention, but not sure if that is where is should start. Like most trucks of this age from SD, i have some nasty fender cancer spots and door spots too (luckily rockers seem good, will find out for sure!). Any suggestions as to where to start would be great, as you guys are as pro as can be found.
