My plan is to use the 4x4 chassis with the '70 body. The body did need some rust repair, and I had never welded before. I took an evening welding class at the local Votech Center, and read a lot of threads on this website before I jumped in. The first cut into the body of your truck can be nerve wracking, especially when you don't have experience welding. The members on this site were very inspirational and motivating, so I jumped right in. I started with replacing the driver's side floorpan, rockers, and cab corner. This build my confidence, so I decided to try smoothing my firewall next. Here are some pics of the firewall after the mod:
