"Hoping to get the vast majority of the build done within 2 months of purchase so this thread should move pretty quickly at the outset."
Wow. Famous last words.
Hey hey. This project has run out of control.
Good news is. Suspension and front end plus plus plus plus has begun.
Have a 4 day weekend coming up I was reserving for the build but damnit if its not supposed to rain so decided to start gutting it today and work around the weather if at all possible as I will not be able to conduct this portion of the build in the garage because the damn truck don't fit.
Got it gutted save for the idler and pitman arm in about 4.5 hrs after work today.
Was very pleased with how well it all came apart.

Everything is filthy.. most of it is going in the trash as I have new or is getting refurbished.
Plan is to clean and prep frame side tomorrow and maybe some components while still sunny. And paint Thursday.
And then clean prep and paint components in the garage as the weather give rain this weekend.
Then slap it all back together in the first couple days next week. Gonna need some luck on this weather or Ill be in fits.
