First build in many years....

First thing I would like to thank all of the supporter's of this site! I have been reading threads here for awhile now, knowing I was purchasing a new project soon.

I bought a 1968 C10 Stepside for my 50th birthday... I have intentions of stripping it down to the frame and starting there. Most of the body panels are solid, just a couple coats of paint over the years. All suspension is stock, along with drive train.

Thanks in advance for passing your knowledge and patients with this new guy

I would post pictures... LOL...but not sure how to yet.

Thinking 4/6 drop...not sure who to use though. Want to go disc all the way around too.

Hoping to be able to get at least 18" wheels under it.
