My first Restoration...Where to start?

[alabama1949chevy]

Everyone,

This is going to be my first restoration. I've always helped buddy's with their builds, but this will be my first. I found this 1949 Chevy 3100 in the woods while on a whitetail deer hunt on family property (lets just say i didn't do much hunting that day). It just so happens to be my wife's Great Grandfather's. From what I can tell, the frame actually looks to be in decent shape! With all of the wet weather we have had the past few months down south i'm going to need to wait a while for the mud to dry up before I can get it out of the woods and back to the house.

I am looking for ideas on where to start. I know that the first order of business is going to be to get the cab and such off the frame before I blast it.

Any and all ideas and suggestions are welcomed!

Thanks!
