Welcome to Stovebolt Andrew
That sounds exciting to be getting a truck that’s been in the family and a one-owner one at that.
We’re looking forward to seeing pics when you get it.
As far as posting a journal that would be appropriate to document your progress, but general questions in the various forums (driveline, paint and body, etc.) with specific titles would get more notice. You might also check in with the guys in the big bolt forum and the regional group for your locale.
