Omodified's 1970 SWB Custom/10

Well, I bought a truck back in May and I introduced myself here a few weeks after. I have since done quite a bit to the truck and I have documented nothing to this point. I figured I would regret it if I didn't start doing something. So, this is the start of my build thread. I am not sure of any long term goals, but my short term goal is to have a nice driver. I bought the truck to give my daughter and I some bonding time. So far, we are having a blast. This is my first ever restoration project so I am very green. So far, I have found this website and everybody on it to be very helpful. Found out you just have to be patient and dig around here for the answers. I have always wanted one of these trucks and looked around forever to find a good starting piece. We finally found ours in Atlanta, GA. I bought the thing off craigslist pretty much sight unseen/fingers crossed. I wasn't as happy with it as I thought I would be when I got down there to pick it up. However, it was good enough not to ruin a 12 hour round trip. So, we trailered it home. Here are the pics the PO sent me and what I had to base my decision on.





Ugh, missing trim...




A little bit of cancer in the doors was all I was told about...




Interior seemed fairly original for what I knew about it at the time...




Thank goodness the dash wasn't cut up for this "awesome" radio...


Engine bay was surprisingly clean
