well y’all yesterday started the process of body swapping. Removed cab and bed from chassis finally. New cab will be picking up next week and getting it stripped down for cleaning and prepping for sound deadening.
I’ll post some pics later to show progress.
It’s long way to go still Next weekend will be degreasing frame and suspension getting it cleaned up and hopefully some undercoating and light paint touch up.
Also will be starting the process of checking the lovely wiring that’s been engineered by the muppets in a lot of places to get back to as OE as possible
Parts list stir growing ugh but it is a project and they take time.
Stay tuned for more updates

I'm not complaining at seeing another frame-off build of some kind, but I must have missed something. What's the back story behind this?

I bought the truck really cheap with the po saying the transmission was bad. Well after picking her up and getting home with her I started looking into the truck more. She has rusted out cab and the bed was bondo filled so bad that it cracked under the paint. So I found a good cab and whilst everything is accessible she is getting ALOT of new parts and the wiring has been engineered to say the least. So thats the back story

OK so when you're done, it'll be like my grandfather's axe... I restored it with a new head and a new handle :D
