Update for Day 1:
Didn't get as much done as I would have liked but still not a bad day. Most if it coordinating with the shop owner that is letting me use his space for a trade we did, had to wait on him for a little because he was getting the engine hoist and engine stand. Just gonna kick in what it would have cost me to rent for 1 day and can use it anytime I want so good deal for both of us. Spent most of the morning getting my tools together and waiting to be picked up by the rental car company. Packed up all my tools to transport in my rental car (camaro needs to be put back together) to the shop. Spent a couple hours putting together the hoist from HF which some parts didn't fit... yup not the best quality but it will do. haha, and put together the engine stand. Plans were to take the engine and tranny out but not enough time for that so it will happen tomorrow after taking apart the front clip. Today got the bed loos and it's ready to come off whenever we need, so by the end of tomorrow it should be just the cab on the chassis or at least really close to it. Gonna hit it fast and furious (pun intended? IDK) tomorrow and think it will be a really productive day and will be ready for sandblasting on Friday... maybe even Thursday if my OCD/ADD kicks in and I get in that zone where I don't wanna stop til it's at that point. Well here are some more pics of the pre resto and the some updates.
Seats and carpet out, tank looks nice has some dirt or rust inside but probably relocating to the rear frame so might keep it around or give it to someone for a low price.
Floors not looking too bad from up here so might be able to do a left/right patch,we'll see after sandblasting.
This is how they did the floors, just set a patch on top and screwed it in. coming out but may be able to be cut and welded in the right way but I doubt it.
Undercarriage..... oh I can just picture right now how much prettier it's gonna look, even just after sandblasting.
