Hey Hunter, welcome to the forum.
A little this here and there, and the truck will be just the way you want it.
But remember this one point on the build, you are doing this for yourself, not anyone else, and you will always want to drive the beast when you finish the work. Which we all know, will never get done....lol......
Not slamming you, just letting you know up front, nice old trucks are hard to put down for rework. I hate when I have to stop driving and need to put it up in the air for maint. work to be done.
Anyways, its your truck, so think out the plan of attack, draw it up on paper, redraw the plan, measure twice-cut once.
Good start on a job well done.
