New c10 slow build (new member)

[jakehz]

I am relatively new to classic cars in general but I have always loved them just never had the chance to pick one up and have somewhere to work on them. Cars are a huge part of my life. I previously had a 2006 c230 that had every known problem these cars could have. I did almost all the work besides patchinf a hole in the lower intake manifold... Long story short I am pretty comfortable working on cars but I do rely on forums quite a bit. I have hundreds of questions that I am sure I will consistently be bugging you guys with but this forum does seem very lax and filled with knowledge.

So I purchased a 1972 c10 camper special
It has a non original 454 and 410 transmission
I will post a pic of the glove box options, it seems to be pretty loaded and is a custom deluxe with the original blue plaid seat but it has seen better days.

One of my biggest questions is where do I begin...
I have done little things here and there but it's mainly just screwing new bezels or replacing fuses etc. I'll explain what my goal is for the truck...
I want it to be a learning project, I'm not scared to mess things up as long as I'm learning because in due time I want to spend a good chunk of money finding another base c10 that will eventually be my show quality truck.
So for this truck it's gonna be a daily driver that o can throw my surf boards and bikes etc in.

I don't think I will go as far as a frame off but I do want to be thorough.
I will post more about it and pictures when I get the time this week but I am really excited to get going on this truck.
Thanks
Jake
