heres soem pics of the progress

dad said I should've waited till summer (65* for 2 day) I should've waited till summer. Oh well.

I was just going to wire wheel it but dad said it'll wear out the drill ?

So he talked me into blasting it. What kind of sand should I buy? Is playsand ok? (cheapo)

I bedlined my tank (no pics too tired) it looks good. Dad thinks I should do brush on bedliner instead of paint. My trailing arm bolts were pretty rough. Got 1 Side off. Other side and everything else that has to come off is soaking in kerosene,wd40,and motor oil in a squirt can.

I took my shocks off (getting new ones). What should I expect to pay from autopart store? 20 bucks apiece or so.

What're all the ports in my gas tank for?!?!?

bigest one for the filler. one by sending unit is for the fuel pump line to hoook too, and I guess another one for a vent maybe? whata bout the other 2?

What to coat frame in?

1 blast then rattle can

2 blast then bedliner

3 your guys opinion/other

If I blast then bedliner, should I self etch primer under beliner or no

Looks good dude

Personally I like the grill painted body color

As for your gas door, go round... square parts look stupid on a round truck

And dont bore your engine over any more than it needs... boring over for power is a waste, you dont get any more power really (you cant feel it) & your engine wont be able to be rebuilt as many times & they can tend to get hot when you get the cylinders too thin

As for a trans, it really depends on how you drive it, I havent seen you say anything about hauling anything heavy (4 wheelers dont count unless you haul at least 4 of them) so a granny 1st trans isnt anything you NEED, but it wont hurt anything you just wont ever use first gear unless you are taking off on a really steep hill
If you arent hot rodding it or speed shifting, then a NV-3500 would do you well, they arent the strongest thing, but you can haul stuff like a boat with them & you get over drive which would go great with 3:73 gears in the back

If you dont care about OD then an old car 4-speed would work good too
But then again your 3OTT would be fine too, & with a floor shifter they are kinda neat, plus it gives you an excuse to put ur hand in between ur GFs legs lol

Just dont rattle can it or cut it up & you should be good

Here is my old highschool truck & my buddys burb that he drives to school as his DD
