Getting started

[OrrieG]

Welcome, your project sounds similar to many that are underway here. Like Mr48 said there is a wealth of knowledge. I lurked here for almost 6 months going through all the build threads getting ideas and finding shortcuts. There are many threads discussing the merits of different approachs to rebuilding these old trucks. Do a search for "FAQ thread" it will turn up a thread that has pages of links to frequently asked topics most of which will save you time and aggrevation. When all else fails ask a question and you will get answers and opinions.
