very nice project.  I'd love to have an old vehicle tied to the family and everyone watch me get her back in shape.  Take it to family reunions and stuff.  I'd keep her stock.  Take many, many pictures throughout the project.  The best thing of that era truck is no smog stuff or cats!

Well that one's going to take some work to get it where you want it. But you can do it! Looks like it's all there. I would visit the other site for more focused info-

I had a 69 C-20, 72 C-10, 72 K-20 Cheyenne and a 71 C-20 Longhorn Camper Special.  I liked the body style but felt cramped inside the cab.  Great story about the family history of it.  That's kinda how I got my 85 with my uncle retiring from the same plant it was made and he had a hand at putting it together.
