[QUOTE=Uwe Blab;3358463] Unfortunately I don't have a place where I can dismantle the truck and work on it when the time and funds present themselves.

Being that the truck is on a trailer in the photos, I was wondering if you've ever driven it.
I believe that I'm afflicted with a similar mindset as to what you describe; all or nothing kinda thinking. Or maybe perfectionism. Whatever you wanna call it, it usually leads me down paths that I call snowballs.
Anyway, my suggestion would be to get it running/driving and do some things that you think have to be done. Then drive it for awhile and do something else.
I would advise that a frame off is a bold step if you have no room or $. When you dismantle a vehicle, it takes up at least 3 times as much space as it does in one piece.
