Or even go with a full size shot whelbase pickup, like the Chevys from the '80s. EASY to work on and get parts for.

That is some good advice.
Look for something with analogue ignition (points, cap, rotor) and carbs, from the 70s or early 80s.
That will give you a nice simple platform to learn the basics from.
Something that is well supported by a Haynes or similar manual also helps, as is something with a common engine (e.g. small block chev, ford straight 6 etc).
Then you can get lots of help here on the forums during your journey (and rebuilding a car is a journey).
