Well I started off building it at my aunt and uncles house in they're back yard. Took it apart down to the frame. Got the frame done and put it back together with a different bed (original floor, firewall, and windshield frame). Basically got it to the point of moving and stopping (kind of) by itself. I moved it to a little building the inlaws said I could use. That was great but you couldn't open the doors all the way because it wasn't wide enough. Oh well. Now I'm in my cousin's fully equipped shop to finish the build. Its insullated, heated, concrete, monster snapon tool box loaded down, AIR!!!, and a very nice Millermatic 210 mig welder. Took it back apart and got the shocks and lift blocks on last weekend. I seperated the bed from the floor board yesterday to clean all the rust and body goo to weld it all up. Put it back together then welded it back together. Got the new front U-bolts on too. Next weekend I'll weld in the new front cab supports and maybe the rocker boxes. Then cut out the bad stuff in the floor board to weld in the new. and then and then and then. Yall know how it is.
The new place!!!! Sorry the pics are a little dark, I didn't have all the lights on.
I'm hoping to have it done this year, my cousin laughed and said it will take at least a year, haha. To all my helpers and advisors, Thanks for all the help!
