Wow, it seems that everyone has their own way of doing this... But that is good, gives me options !!
YES, I got the truck in pieces, but I did a complete mock up of the body, check in my photos and you will see the body was pretty much completely assembled on the frame. Everything seems to fit nicely, sure there will be some work involved
That is what makes this even more fun it NOT knowing what went where, and not having any reference on HOW to put this thing together...
Also the engine and tranny have already been rebuilt, and looks good from a general overview & inspection.
Most all of the body work & repair has been done, just needs some touch up, sanding and then final painting.
I spent this past weekend tearing down my mock up and yes I have plenty of pictures and sketches of what goes where, which hardware to use where, etc...
I plan on spending the next month or so cleaning up (sanding, scrubbing, prepping) the frame for primer and paint. then I will get onto the suspension and brakes. Would like to beg a complete solid rolling chassis first. (Frame, Suspension, and Brakes) anything else I should do while on this Chassis/ Frame Mode ?!? I try to stay one step ahead, so that I am ordering parts, pieces, etc for the next phase while I am working on the current phase.
