That sounds like a nice looking ride. I bought my truck in the Bend Oregon area and it only had surface rust. I started the dismantling in the summer of 2010. Sandblasted the frame Axle etc. Changed the gears in the rear end did the breaks, shocks...... etc last winter. I painted the cab and 10,000 cab parts this summer. Had the machine work done on the engine this spring, rebuilt the tranny and installed all the drive train over the summer. Now I want to get the electric and cab interior done this winter. Then more body stuff in 2012.
