Header panel and 4x4 Valance arrived yesterday.
 Chrome bumper w/o bumper strip came today. Metal on the bumper seems a bit thinner than the OEM. It's a tad flimsy, but then again this has none of the brackets and supports attatched, its naked, so that is more than likely affecting it. I'll find out when mount it all up.

Well, she's been awaken from her winter slumber. Finally had the time to clean out the garage enough to move her out from the wall so I can get to working on her again.
Really, I think I'm to the point of removing the bed and cab and cleaning up the frame. Then I can do the body work with the frame back under it all. Now I just need to grab a few friends and figure out the best way to pull the cab. ***I EDITED the thread to remove non important conversation. Trying to keep it a build thread and cut out everything non technical or important. ***

Bed off. Tank out (forgot I had 3/4 tank of Premium gas in it
 ) Worst rust under the truck. I'm gonna run a fuel cell in the bed so all the cross members will most likely be replaced with tubing... this one for sure though.

I haven't decided totally. Under the cab, where the factory grease paint still existed, the frame is immaculate. From the cab back I had rubber undercoated about 6 years ago (which is a pita to get off). I'm debating having it blasted if I can find someone to do it cheap, and I don't think POR15 likes to stick to bare clean metal very well. The rust preventer stuff I have in my first post might get used as a primer/sealer as it prefers prepped metal, then primer, then good old regular black paint.

Add one more pic.
Evidence of how bad I effed up the tranny crossmember. I cut it out today by removing the frame bracket rivets, but the batts died in the camera, and by this piont this morning the sun was too hot to work any longer till tonight. Gonna roll with a suicide doors crossmember, not sure yet if I want to go with their radius arm member too.
