What have I done?!

[1967wannabe]

Drove up to Dallas last Sunday while my wife was knocked out in the hospital recuperating from gall bladder surgery and picked up a fairly rust free '70 Chevy C-10 Fleet Side SWB. Originally a six w/3 on the tree, currently has no motor or trans.
PO ruined the bed floor by hacking it up and beginning to tub it (HACK JOB), also ruined (IMO) the hood with a home made 6 or 7 inch cowl induction set-up but.... the paint is all original, both sides are very straight and there are no rot holes in it (that I have found yet anyway) so it'll do.


The Plan (today) is as follows:

Strip to frame, send out for sand blast/powdercoat.
All new steering/suspension, powdercoated & new bushings.
CPP "Big Brake Grand Slam Kit" 4.5/6 drop with 13" rotors.
20x8.5 front/22x10 rears, old school five spoke (Coy's or Boss so far).
Low mile 5.3/4L60E install using all the donor components (mech fan, OE a/c compressor & p/s pump, etc.)
Move tank to rear, add late model fuel door to bed side (ala gringoloco).
Replace front clip with '67 sheetmetal & core support.
Replace the bed floor (steel) and rear inners.
Smooth (no bolts) front & rear chrome bumpers.
Hidden hitch w/late model round elect connector.
One piece door glass (Brothers kit came with truck).
Restore interior to "close to stock".
Paint it black to match the bike.
500 other things I'll remember as I go.

Will be aksing lotsa questions and looking for advice along the way so "thanks in advance!"...already have absorbed a ton of info from this website.

Comments are welcome.

FWIW I am a service manager at a large volume independent auto repair shop that also has a (bigger than the mech shop I run) collision repair shop, so my resources are fairly plentyful.
