is this a driver?
You have a shop/garage?
Are you going to do it all yourself?
Will it all be done in your garage/carport/back yard/curb in front of the house?

If i were you i would get all the paint done first before accesorizing dont want to risk oversrpay on some of your goodys

Not me, opposite.

I'd do all the heavy suspension, air bagging, and mechanical work before the paint. I don't want to be using tools and hammers and heaving heavy parts anywhere around fresh paint.

I do always paint before installing the glass though, so the paint under the seals is fresh and there are no tape lines around the windows.

well with everything you have listed on you "to do" list i'd say the place to start would be the beerstore

Money and time is usually the starting point , everyone uses a different route to get to the finish line ,But I agree with Tx Firefighter .That is how I did BB. always like to have a mechanically sound vehicle first. JMO

Start at the bottom and go up....Get the dirty work done first. It's much more fun to work on installing clean parts.

take the front clip, cab, bed off, blast frame, powder coat, 1/2 ton running gear and bags put on all at once, put drivetrain back together (making it bigger better badder as you do it) strip clip cab and bed, paint, and put in glass. Sooo much easier to type than do.
