I decided to go with the dark green metallic bottom and light green/yellow metallic for the top and most likely saddle interior. And yes the big open gravel parking lot was very nice to strip it and my cordless imact helped a lot!

Oh yeah, I love how fast these old trucks come apart.....it's the putting them back together that takes the time.

Thanks! It is a great story and I am glad to have all of it. I am in the market for a good used cab...this one is too far gone which is a shame because it is all original sheet metal. I also found a used right door because the right door has rust/cracks around the hinges as well as the bottom.
Update:
today I picked up a 5-lug rear end today to swap axels with. Also ordered my fuel cell from John at DBRods in Taylor. I had him build a 27gal so I can get better weight distribution and so I dont have to fill up as often
Ordered some parts from Mar-K for the bed, all new hardware for the bed as well as hidden bolt strips and new angle strips.
Just recieved the trans cross member from early classics as well as the new motor mounts/stands.
Sorry no new pictures yet. Maybe monday!
Still searching for a 5 lug cross front cross member with disc brakes.
