Re: Looking for tips on how to start the restoration.

well be for your remove the door's.A few guys in here talk about drilling a small hole for alignment reasons.One other thing Poly mount squeak.And if you can find factory Rubber mounts you be so much more happier.I know of some Comaro Builders and they don't use anything other then Rubber.Rubber dose not new Lube to keep it quit.That is the first tale tale of Noise.No body like going into a parking lot with a squeaky truck.I know a lot of guys in here want you to sand down your truck inside and out and the frame.But do me one favor add up your cost of sand paper and other things you need and find out what a Banking soda sand blast cost you.Funny thing about banking soda you can get it all out of your truck with a water Hose and it dose not hurt the metal.its faster and you can get right to to body and the primering.Remember.the longer the build takes the more chances you have a drifting mind.If you see things getting done it inspires you to get to the next step.

Remember after you put your truck on the frame.Make sure then you bought all the stuff that normally wears out replaced.And don't Buy cheep stuff cus you will do it again in 2 year

I'm a guy that like stock I've built 3 trucks But there not finished they will never be finished.

remember Plum your truck with all new Wire harness Me i like M&H factory harness cus it will last 30 years and plum your truck with a trailer harness cus we never say we will use are truck for that But we do Good luck with your build
