Talking Budget Upgrade/Build on a 1966 C10 $900 budget

Hello, I just sold a newer car with plans on making my 66 c10 a daily driver.
What's my budget? $900 in (Southern California)

Things I would like to accomplish:

1-Engine: inline 6 that ran - on stand (not sure of displacement yet, until I pull the spark plugs.)
*find a used or affordable radiator & hoses & install
*Replace the valvue cover gasket
*Replace the oil pan gasket & freeze plugs?
*Replace spark plugs, wires, cap, and rotor, and points
*Replace the water pump
*Replace the alternator
*Oil change, oil filter, fuel filter
*replace intake and 1 barrel carb for a 4 barrel setup

2-Transmission: 2004r or 700r4 (probably 2004r so I don't have to shorten the first drive shaft)
*Pull a tranny from the junk yard
*Rebuild it if not very expensive for a kit.
*Install with engine in more forward mounting position if needed to save on drive shaft rework cost.

3-Brakes - Upgrade to power w/ dual reservoir front disk
*Locate dual reservoir, brake booster, & brake lines at good price & install
*get disk brake setup from a later model vehicle that can bolt right in & install w/ minkmal fab

4-Rewire myself

5-Get windows functioning (glass fell out of place on both sides)

-----Perhaps postpone this a little if over budget-----

5-Gas tank relocation
*Find a later model tank to fit between the frame rails somewhere
Or make or have a custol tank made

6-Power Steering upgrade.

Thank you for reading all that, any and all help is appreciated!

Oh, and I hope to document it all on my 60-66 C10 page on facebook! Drop by and check us out!
