Hey guys,
I'm not new to the forum, but I'm new to restoring vehicles. My 71 GMC 1500 will be my first restoration project ever. I've scanned the forums for a How-To or Where-To start on the restoration of these trucks and could not find much. Does anyone have a guide or list on where to start and what to accomplish? Heres my concept: Exterior - rust removal - body work - prime - paint Interior - ?? Drive Train - engine - transmision - breaks - rear-end Electrical - ?? How's my list look so far? Basically I'm trying to find out where to start. I'm thinking of trying to get it reliable as a driver for a bit (minor drivetrain work / engine work and just general cleaning ) I will probably end up having to pay someone to do most of the body work, unless I can find some really good information on the internet or some nice replacement panels. I will post some pictures of my ride when I get home! To paint a picture its a $2000 truck that needs everything, and I dont know where to dig in. Shooting for a nice driver and I'm a little hesitant to go straight for the frame off resto.
