Newbie needs advice

[JimmyCriswell]

Good Morning Everyone,
Just picked up a 68 original C-10 custom. No options. Truck needs a lot of work though it does run and drive. it has aftermarket 350 and a manual 5 speed that I have not been able to figure out where it came from yet.

Long story short. I have quite a few rust problems to take care of that will require a welder and something to cut the rust out with. Can anyone give me some pointers on what type of welder I will need for mostly sheet metal welds....new rocker panels, floor boards, etc.

Great to be here. I will get some pictures up shortly. Single income family so this build will take quite a while. I will probably leave it running as long as I can to drive around before I deal with anything under the truck unless some of you that have been here longer than me can convince me that this is not a good idea.
