First Build thread, Need some outsiders veis

Im new to the board, tho Ive been reading tons and tons of threads for ideas and things I am currently stuck on.

The back story on this truck started in high school when I built my first car at age 14. It was a toss up between building a c10 or a 1978 trans am(Smokey and the bandit). Of course the muscle car won out. But I stumbled on a 69 c10 last winter and the price was rite so I jumped on it. It was pretty beat up but it ran. It came with a 327 that was swapped out of a Vett or an Impala Ran decent and loud the only thing that was really wrong with the engine was a leaky rear seal.

So I got the truck and The end goal on what I want it to be has change over the last year. The first summer I just put in a new bench seat and ended up doin a rebuild on the motor over the leaky rear main seal. (Aka... I already had it that far apart, I figured I might as well have the heads done ad a cam put new ring and bearing in it and port match the intake and called it good. Ran it that way for the summer, camping and what not. Work perfect for that. But then I sold my Jeep and decided I would turn this truck into a daily driver. SO, thats where it really starts. Ill get some pics posted up and walk you through kinda the direction I took. An ass always any critiques or questions and welcomed actually the more feedback the better. Ive been struggling my way learning threw, tho easy way to do things on this truck would be nice. I have a ton of question on the painless wiring harness an also other things.

But Hope yall enjoy, It is my first build thread so feel free to lead me in the rite direction sometimes
