So here is the plan so far.
1. remove old rusted out battery tray replace with new tray and battery
2. Flush the fuel lines, make a new accelerator rod, fresh plugs, wires, filters, flush radiator and get the engine running
3. Install a new steering column so that we can shift the auto trans. have to make a shift rod for this as they never completed this portion of the install.
4. Install an exhaust system from the factory manifolds, going with some inexpensive mufflers to just over the rear axle for now.
5. Repair all of the lights and make sure brakes, headlights, license light and turn indicators all work properly.
6. Re-wire the charging system. (I am no genius but just looking at what the PO left I can tell it aint right)
7. Install new springs and shocks (Need some help here.....) wanting to go with a static drop on this truck as it will be a DD grocery getter. Just not quite sure how low to go??? Thinking 2" in the front 4" in the back
8. install new tires and wheels that will be used later on in the build. This brings up a question as to what will fit these trucks and what type of back spacing will be needed to make the tire fill the wheel well properly?
