There is also a time when you stand with a part in your hand saying, "What the hell is this and where does it go"?

As much as I'd like to go ground up on my newly aquired 67 F100 it's just not feasable at this time. I can work on it in my employer's shop but I have to rent space to store it for the winter.My game plan is this:
1) Replace damaged front sheet metal.
2) Go over and repair/replace all safety items.
3) Repair/stop the minor rust issues before they become major ones.
4) Update steering and brakes.
I want to drive it some before I stash it for winter and having a truck that is several different colors doesn't bother me.

Electrical - enough to get it running.
Mechanical... it must be making as much hp as possible, and delivering it to the ground reasonably reliably (bear in mind I like rotaries, so this is a relative thing
).
Body - I don't need no stinking body
