Hey Matt, awesome truck! I'm in the same boat with my 70 C-10: it was my first truck when I was 16, but has been sitting for some time since. I pulled the plugs and squirted some Marvels Mystery oil into the cylinders, then pulled the valve covers and poured some more over the valvetrain. After some new plugs/wires and a rebuilt carb, she fired right up!
I plan to go a similar route as you: first mechanical (engine, brakes, etc.) then aesthetic (interior, shortbed conversion and paint).

Good luck!
