Greetings to all. I recently got my 1969 Fleetside LWB back from my dad. Here's the condensed story: I bought the truck for $150 when I was 19 from my aunt who had been using as a feed truck on her ranch. It sat in my parents garage for a few years and then I left for bootcamp. I sold it to my dad to help finance a new car...he dropped a new 350 crate motor in and got it running. I have since bought it back from him and drove it all the way from FL up to Northern VA. (That was exciting.)

With the engine being solid and the tranny apparently the same (870 Mi FM FL to VA). What should my next step be? I have the mechanical skills to do the whole truck I just don't know where to start. I stripped and primered the hood since the old farmer that had it brush painted it to slow the rust down.

Please keep in mind that I am an E-5 in the military and don't make huge bucks...any advice is more than welcome!

Where do I start?!
