gearheadmike,
Nice to see another young person interested in an old truck.
Where to start? Good question. What I would say is, step back and just spend a little time making a list about what "You" find that is wrong with this truck and what you want it to be. Only then can you start to figure out what you want to restore first. It all takes time and a little bit of moola one step at a time. So you basically have to break it down in steps that you can handle. These old trucks are well built. Mostly steel with hardly any plastic parts and will last a very long time only if someone comes along to put some care into them. Just the quality of steel in them is unbelieveable in todays standards. You've got an American treasure. Just be patient and take it one step at a time.
Good luck!
