Don't know where to start

Lost my career/full-time job a while back....trust me, it has been TOO long ago. I have literally been depressed and haven't tried looking at my truck (project) Was about to do body work and paint when my job was eliminated.
Now, I feel like I am going to have to start from scratch.
Gosh! Where do I begin??
Couple of questions off the top of my head.....How do I straighten my bumper? It is a new one, but when I bolt it on it looks like the forks are screwed up but they are not. I have measured and for the life of me, I can't figure that one out....and second, my 72's bed is original and banged up. It was a work truck. Can the panels be replaced? Or should I just Rhino-coat the bed and be done with it (bangs, dents and all?)

Re: Don't know where to start

my guess is that if you know someone with a bead roller he can build some nicer then stock inner panels .
the outer panels are expensive , ive been looking for them to use on mij 1974 shortbed and there 350 dollar per side , there oversized too so schipping them isn't cheap either
best thing to do is look out for a complete bed , thats wat i do/did

i got a job again and having fun at it too

idea's for the trucks and the order of things to do are taking shape and get closer to being realized , a few more months and i be able to start building for real

i complete 2 of the trucks intoo running fashion one custom and one basicly stock the thirth will be sacrificed for parts
