Looks like a good start, keep on it and it'll be a lot of fun. What are you going to run for front springs? Look into RUF swap since you're doing 63s out back; they move the axle forward a bit and give some lift... there's a ton of info for this; and it's cheap and easy. Just like me.

My 84 and the flatbed that came with it and I like my Chevy springs but need bumpstops soon. I have plans drawn up for under-bed storage and lowering it a few inches. The previous owner thought he could weld and "welded" the bed right to the frame... without plating or bracing.  :slap:



Presonally I'd say ditch that sorry front bumper next, if you need a front turn signal I have a few lying around.

A good start overall, welcome to the wheeling disease.
