Snapped a bunch of pics and will get them loaded later today.
Found some great deals on parts and have ordered
JC WHitney: rear shocks and new rear leaf hanger, shackle kit. They have free shipping right now using the promo code WELCOME.
Amazon ordered new rear upper shock mounts and a locking gas cap.
Today We need to find the best place to order a 3g alt as the one in the truck is toast. Seems like RJM has the best deal on a 95 amp. Any input here would be great.

what we started with underneath the pretty exterior. We pulled the box and the gas tank to clean things up and give the truck another 17 years.
box is off
Mason grinding off rivet heads
Needle scaler at work, we did not find any really bad spots on the frame but is has lost a few pounds
New hanger brackets, shackles and leaf springs
new upper shock mounts
We have been using rustoleum brand rust converter then top coating with rustoleum industrial semi gloss black. Maybe not the as good as por15 or others but a major improvement and should hold up for a good while.
Will up load some more as we get them, new tank is on the way then we need to move the front.

As for the alt swap.. just switch to a single wire hookup alt.. Most Aftermarket HO alt companies make them. I got mine from Mechman.com and it included a new harness to plug into factory one. My voltage is at 15.1v cold and 14.8v hot
Truck is coming along nicely! What kinda paint did you use for the frame?

Thanks for the Alt info I will check out the website. We are gonna go pick around the junk one of these days.
I believe the diesel will be a 3G also, look up oldfuelinjection.com
