Default Hello from new guy “Cranky”

Wanted to say hello and introduce my self.
I’ve owned and operated a body and paint shop for 23 years and during that time I try to build one vehicle a year to flip.
My dad who is also new to this forum (azcornman) wanted to start a build for my son who just turned 16.
We found ourselves a fairly clean 1964 GMC “wrongbed” pickup.
We actually purchased it more then a year ago but with the previous owner and his run around of actually producing the title “burned in a house fire, was in moms name and she died” we gave up on him and just did a bonded title. Now we are good to go!
Basic plan of action for the truck is to shorten the bed
5.3 swap
Relocate gas tank
4/6 drop

So nothing crazy, it will be my son’s first truck so the build will be fairly conservative.
I will update with pictures as we move along.
Thanks in advance for any answers and advice.
