Re: And so it begins...

So, what are your plans? Have you still got all your parts reasonably organized? If you get stuck, theres lot of people on here who'd be willing to lend some advice, myself included.

Re: And so it begins...

Did you take it apart? Do you still have the parts?
One thing I did was take pictures, lots of pictures. They help later when you are putting it back together.
I started by setting my mind on doing one part as far as I can and then start on the next.
I did the front first. Replaced all the seals and gaskets in the engine and tranny and put them off to the side. Then came the front suspension.
Now Iīm doing the bottom of the cab. Havenīt found any rust yet.
One thing after the other.
I just hope you didnīt buy it like that. But Iīm sure you will be able to get it back together with the help from the people here in the forum.

Have fun and good luck.

Re: And so it begins...

well im starting from the frame, so i kinda gotta take everything off before i start anything, typically anyway, i wanna do an airbag suspension setup, and basically the rest stock, aside from the engine, but im limited on space so i cant really start taking everything apart seeing as how all the stuff is in the bed, lol

Re: And so it begins...

Iīm glad I have alot of space. I donīt think I would be working on mine if I didnīt have the space.
Go check out my Diary starting at page 3. Maybe that will help you a little.
Iīm going to be adding to it here in a little bit.
