78 k5 4x4 bone stock unmolested starting fresh

So i learned of a blazer near me for 1500 thru a friend. I checked it out said he did some minor up grades to it edlebrock carburator intake air cleaner valve covers and replaced heads as they were cracked also a nice new msd looks like dizzy so i took it home via trailer. something about a tranny leak he said, and thats where it starts the fix list

issues power windows no wiring
tailgate missing latch
transmission no forward gears at all
3 different tire sizes
power steering pump about to go
no radio
start with key and a toggle
suspension totaly shot
brakes work but seem to be losing fluid as it was low to start

the bright sides matching numbers block,rebuilt heads,all glass is there interior seats all there but ruff and it starts with barely a touch
so time to throw parts at it and see what i come up with

update 9/3 parts on order 4 inch lift with all new suspention parts, new tires, power steering pump, trans rebuild kit
