67 c10 bought! where to start?

I just joined this site and I just bought a 67 c10! It is definitely a fixer-uper! Lots of bondo, and rusted mounts. It does have a 350 that runs strong with 4 spd on the floor. Im excited to get started on it but in no hurry. If my computer works i should have pictures to show.

I have a 67 myself. I've owned it for 17 years now and I'm still upgrading it all the time!

If it runs good then I think best place to start on your truck is suspension!!

Re: 67 c10 bought! where to start?

brakes are a good thing too. Drum to disc swap while redoing the front suspension would be perfect.

Welcome from Florida too. Start with safety. Brakes, steering, wiring, lights, etc.

I was definitely planning on the brakes because they are dangerously weak. Ill do some searches and see what I come up with. Thanks for the info!
