Then probably take apart the rest. Any pointers for me before I begin ? | | | | | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: May 2007 Posts: 275 | Takes lots and lots of pictures. Use lots and lots of baggies and mark everything. Try to leave your bolts in the holes they came out of.

No better smell than that of fresh paint. I've been building and painting cars/trucks for 47 years.

Scrub as much dirt and gunk off BEFORE you put it in the shop...
Keep track of what you do in a notebook too.. draw pix, ect... take MANY measurements.. ie... front and rear wheel centerlines... mark those on the frame-deep!
measure and mark where the cab is supposed to go back to... ect..
most of all, have FUN.
Another quality post.

Bag & Tag all the small parts. Keep notes on disassembly sequences as 2 years down the road the old memory fades ! Lastly, if you think the truck takes up room just wait until you get all those body parts spread everywhere !!!. On the good side, everything is just plain bolted together - easy to take apart.
Have fun. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | as for the dynamite be sure to use a long fuse  | | |
