I have a 46 1/2 ton in pieces, with many boxes of parts. I left off in 2001 when I had cancer and a Son. Yeng/yang I suppose. I have since bought several trucks that are running and I drive. But now is the time to put together the 46 with my 14 year old Son. I have a 261 and a T5 tranny to put in. K5 Blazer rearend. Want a stock look.
Everybody give me advice PLEASE!

If all the body parts of off have you considered priming/painting? You can go crazy like I did and go right down to metal and then epoxy prime. what about the engine is it out of the vehicle? Can you turn it over by hand etc. There is lots to consider, have fun
I would rather be late 10 minutes in this life than 10 minutes early for the next
The reason my lady and I have been together so long is because of the kids. Neither one of us wanted sole custody
