1975 k10 restoration and upgrades

OK. So I picked up a 1975 k10 and it is a restoration project. I have paint issues , rust issues, a leak from my engine that is oil, and lots more to worry about with this truck. I took pictures yesterday of it and pulled the 2 captain chairs to make sure I didn't have that underneath my seats. I'm good there so I cleaned them scrubbed and put down some primer after sanding just because it was bare metal practically. Next step is to put in a new thermostat and to fix my leak in my engine which is from the oil pan. New gasket not to spendy. After that when it warms up I'll be pulling the cab and fixing up the rust issues, cab noise issue and making sure I am insulated. Doors will be redone with new seals and trim also along with front windshield . I will be repainting the whole truck inside and out updating the electrical and making this rust bucket a beauty once again. Biggest hurdle I have is just patching up rust and updating electrical and making sure everything is tight. I'll post pictures later since I can't do it from my phone. Hope to have everyone along for this ride
