Resources for a novice

Hi all,
I just purchased a '66 F-250. It doesn't have an engine. The working plan for now is to swap a 12v cummins into it. It has a clean frame and body but will need love in most other places. I will have help with the diesel part of things but am looking for some resources on interior work and what not. This is my first project, but I am a quick learner.

If anyone knows of any good YouTube channels or blogs of past projects that would be appreciated!

Thanks

Try this informative document put together by member 66v8Baby..........I made a few corrections, added the part number for the short bed front parking brake cable, and some GVWR info. Here is the new link:

Marfarama, what is he putting in it? I've got thoughts of a powerstroke going in at some point in the future.

Restoration Guide is Wonderful

I just purchased a 1966 F250. This is my first project since I was in my teens working with my Dad (such fond memories). This restoration guide is amazing - thanks
