Well, Finally got this project started! Still missing a few pieces of the suspension, still need tires which are no where to be found, (reasonably at least), still waiting on a couple of my Rigid lights, etc but got it started. Hope to have it back on the ground next week.
Pulled out all the suspension, axles driveshafts, etc.
Had to torch off the rear shock mounts and smooth the axle. Cleaned, sanded, taped off, etc and then painted the axles and shafts to match the body color of the truck.
