1969 GMC.. right off the farm

Hey everyone, been lurking on the forum since I picked up my GMC about 6 moths ago. 1969 GMC 1/2 ton, original 350 and 3 on the tree. Truck came right off a North Carolina farm, and had not been registered in over a decade. I spent the first couple months just getting it road worth, tons of wiring, tune up, brakes, e-brake, fixing the shifter linkage.. etc. just getting it to a point where I could cruise around town this past summer.

Just starting the front end build now, which will consist of power steering, disc brake conversion with drop spindles, rebuilt control arms, new shocks, etc. I believe it still has the original ball joints in due to the rivets. I tore everything apart this weekend, so the first step will be cleaning up the control arms to be rebuilt. Outlook is to do the front end, then new rear leafs this winter to have the truck handling/braking better for next season. I already have a 5.3 LS that I will plan to swap the following winter.
