not really wheeling but....

Just picked up a 61 C10 and it needs some body work, what kind of tools would be a good investment to start out with?
stuff like hammers and such.

I need to do some rust repair, maybe some light dent work.

Ive never done any real body work like this so any pointers might help too.

thanks

I really want to say sawzall, torch, plasma cutter, die grinder, etc...

Instead I'll just say www.eastwoodco.com , they have some decent stuff

Rust repair: cut out the old stuff and weld in new

That HF kit is pretty decent for the price. A buddy of mine has it and used it on two of my vehicles already. That, along with a slide hammer, produced some pretty good results.
