Re: All projects start with a dream

run away from that. floor work sucks. mounting the radiator and front clip sucks. mounting the bed is a fiddly chore. the only thing he has done (for body mounting) is mount the cab, and anyone can do that in a couple days.

when I said buy as much truck as you can afford, I meant buy as much ORIGINAL METAL as you can afford. replacing rust sucks. and it never is as simple as what you see, I had a small hole on the passenger floor and I replaced both floor halves, toe boards, kick panels, and a cab corner. I wish I had that time back.

5k will turn into 10k in a blink on that truck. what is your budget?

and heed 73kay, do title work and registration FIRST. when they ask what your plans are dont gush and think you are rubbing elbows with car guys, they will legislate you to death. say "get it run" and grunt.
