that frame you picked up was deffiantely a nice score for 450
i only wish i was lukky enough to have a nice cab and a nice ready to go frame like that
i cant tell from the pictures but if that frame still has the original front axle you may want to replace it, trucks 69 and older came factory with a closed nuckle set up which has a bad turning radius by design, to make the truck more driveable/ menuverable you should consider replacing the closed nuckle front axle(69 down) with an open nuckle (70 up) also as a added advantage for swaping front axles, if you get a 71- 87 front axle it will have disk brakes
nice project
