oh...well in that case....
1. do anything you're gonna do to the chassis (dropmember, ect) then paint (if you want the pieces as they came to you take them off, then paint, remount when dry)
2. suspension/brakes components
Done see above
3. engine & exhaust, trans, driveshaft, rear-end (test engine at this point)
Yeah I suppose this should be they way to go, just couldnt decide on body work or motor work, trans is a fresh rebuilt 700r4
4. rust repair of cab while off frame (gonna need to brace it since it's off the frame) and any other bodywork needed
cab is off, started on the rockers, cab is braced, wife complains cuz she still dont hear it run lol I wanted to get the floor of the cab done and mount it. just to keep fitting things together since nothing is stock.
5. mount cab, and all the other sheet metal (especially replacement panels) to see how they fit
6. tear it all apart again and paint the sheet metal off the truck
7. put it all back together (CAREFULLY)
8. electrical re-wire
9. bed wood
10. windows down, arm out, rolling like a bad motha around town
that's what I'd do if I did a frame off
