edited the title for more response. sorry no crabs.

so i tried to sell my truck in hopes of getting a car. But how will i pick up parts? So im not selling my truck. I just need to decide where to start on it. I have a 71 frame that i bought for the 5 lug and disk brakes. I want to totally redo the brakes and suspension. (since i have the frame right there in front of me) Also new body mounts. Freshen up my engine and swap it in, then I figure i should paint the bottom of the cab while i have it off then sit it on the frame. throw on the rest of the body and go. Right? Im not doing any major body work, except patch panels on the bed so i can work on it as i drive it.

Where would you start?
