Re: Where do i start???

I was in the same exact boat when I bought my truck... standing there looking at it knowing that just about everything needed redone in one way or another, Original plan was to keep it mostly together and just do it a little at a time, so I pulled the gas tank (something about driving around with it behind the seat wasn't something I'd consider doing), so I yanked the seat out to get the tank, then the carpet was shot, so I pulled that as well while the seat was out, found more rust than I thought after I pulled the carpet and basically took the entire truck apart. Now I can basically point to every nut and bolt that I have not touched, which is about 10 I'm guessing.

Almost a year later and it's ready for paint and should be road worthy in a couple of months. Hopefully you don't need it for your daily transportation. The board here is good for motivation as well, because I found myself a few times wishing I didn't do what I'm doing, but then I get something cool and further along and that motivates me again.
