Re: A bit overwhelmed. Any advice?

So I've decided to go ahead and put the front clip back on and hook everything back up then go with the advice given in this thread and make it whole then get it as drivable as possible and repair one system at a time.

I haven't had a chance this week to get outside with it (maybe the weather will clear up some). But when I do I plan on making a list of things I will need to get the front clip back on and everything hooked back up. But here's some thoughts I'm having so far..

The power steering hasn't worked in the truck since I got it, it seems like a good idea to repair/replace whatever I need to before putting the fender back on because that stuff is pretty low down there. Only problem is I won't be able to see if it's actually working, any thoughts?

On to things I think I'll need.

I found a mounting kit on lmc for the radiator support, is there a better place to buy this?

Is there any place I can buy new hardware for the fenders/inner fenders? I tried looking around online but didn't come up with anything

Battery tray. Mine was 95% rust so I tore it out. Should I consider relocating the battery? If so where to? or just buy a new tray? (Assuming I can find one, I haven't looked)

Hoses! I'm going to need new hoses for everything. I can't think of them all off the top of my head but I know I have pics of all the ones I removed when I took it apart. I'm assuming most of these can just be picked up at an auto parts store correct?

like I said I'll try to make a more complete list when I have my pictures and the truck in front of me but anything at all yall think I should consider or know I need please tell me!

hopefully this all came out right, on my phone and its hard to go back and review formatting.
