Cool idea! definitely take a lot of pictures.

BTW, the odometer on these only goes to 5 digits, so if the cab is shot its probably rolled over at least once. Thats not really a worry, as these trucks and engines last a long time.

Sounds like a cool project. If I could make a suggestion, you have two threads going on this. If you plan on making a build thread on your truck, either start a new thread or provide a link in one of them asking people to post in the other, that way you aren't answering the same questions twice. Just trying to save you some confusion.
