Hey all. I'm fairly new to the forum. I picked up a solid 51 Chevy 3600 in June. It runs great and I just finished working on the drum brakes & parking brake to make it safe, but now I'm stuck.
I started this project after I finished rebuilding a 98 Harley and thought, "yeah, I could do an old truck too", but I feel like I'm in way over my head and don't know where I should go next.
I want to end up with a good daily driver and would love 4WD (but that's a dream, not a need). The body has surface rust & lots of layers of paint. Frame is very solid with surface rust.
I'm thinking I would like to get the mechanical things done first, then tackle the cosmetics in a couple years. I'm trying to figure out if I should do IFS & disc brakes and change the rear differential to get where I want to be, or, if I would be better off to do a frame swap and pick up all the conveniences in one shot.
