As promised!

Had a great Day, Started at 8am, Had the Whole thing torn out by 12. Everything is stripped down bare, rad supports, headlight buckets etc I pulled it all apart for refinishing.

Got the Front of the Frame Cleaned up, Used some purple stuff, scrapper, and a BA Gas Pressure washer. Everything went according to plan. Tomorrow Im gonna paint the Frame, and see what I need for Loom to reloom the Harness. Alot of the harness is mint, but some isnt so Im gonna redo the whole deal.

Ordered a new Starter, Alternator, Rad, 02 sensors, Tranny lines, AC Reciever Dryer, and a host of other stock repalcements which will be painted.

I used a Rock Hard textured Rocker Gaurd, I use it alot, my frame on my 2500 is done it in. Much tougher then some spray bomb.

So..I should be able to use my 6.0L flywheel correct?

Looking GREAT! You have a lot of patience for all that. Not sure if I could handle going that far to make my truck look good. Props.
