even tho it's going to be a driver. I'd go above and beyond with the frame.... I'd hate to get it together and running and then get a stress crack in the frame...
as others have said I'd get the motor and tranny back in and double check all the mounts and reinforce if needed. Then move onto steering and breaks... it's a lot easier to run the hard lines with out the body, provided you are upgrading those...
After searching for a year I found the next project!
46' 1/2 ton in pieces! took 2 trips to get it home, but most of the hard work was already done!!!
