The fun has started. It looks like the truck has a good sunburn but compared to northern trucks it looks very solid. Just a suggestion that you work the body first. Too many guys rip into the drive train and lose interest. If you do your own bodywork, the $ flow is not that high. Good luck.

Its always fun getting started and tearing apart everything. Take lots of pictures, and take detail pics of everything, bag and tag parts, bolts, etc. You'll be suprised at how many things dissappear and you are left turning small circles in the center of your garage murmuring " I know had had those, where in the world did I put them"
Good luck with it

Come to the darkside, step away from the light. That way the only thing you need to mark on disassembly is the body stuff. All that other junk gets sold off/bartered for new stuff that won't just bolt back in anyway. And remember how much fun this day is cuz when your truck doesn't resemble a truck for 2 or 3 years it will carry you through! Good luck and frame off.
