Hey guys. Im new around here. Very nice site, and beautiful trucks.
I got a '62 stepside I been lookin to restore, but Im new to the whole resto thing. I have a few questions for you.
- How should I go about it? It needs the engine put in so should I make sure it at least runs before anything else is started or should body or frame work come first? Help!
- Is body work easiest while its still on the frame?
- I read somewhere that someone put a different front clip on this type of truck so they could install power steering.Is a different front needed or will it work on this frame?
- How can I tell if the rearend is the original one for the truck and how do I find out the ratio?
- Can anyone explain or point me somewhere that can explain what the gear ratio stuff means?
I appreciate any and all responses. Thanks guys. I just hope I can get this resto started.
