First time C10 owner (potentially)....

New to this forum, but seems like the place to go for info.

I have always wanted a 67-72 Chevy C10. As I'm now in a financially able position to do it, it's time to purchase one to restore with my dad. Sold all the race car stuff (except the motor so we can restore a truck together.

i found a 67 C-10 Fleetside Longbed for sale locally. Getting more detailed pictures, but it APPEARS to be in pretty good shape. Typical rust and wear and tear that would be expected.

My question is, for you more experienced restorers, can you please give me some tips on what I SHOULD be looking for in terms of defects and rust? From what I gather, cab corners and cab mounts are where I should be mostly looking for damage. Rockers, fenders, etc can all be repaired/replaced pretty easily.

Just want to make sure I get something that my pop and I can work on and learn as we go, without being totally defeated by work we aren't qualified to handle.

Thanks for any tips!
