thanks for the 2nd opinion... that was my intention... body... then... what ever is priority... prolly drivetrain/suspension

sounds like fun. i went the hard way and now im kinda regretting not having a truck for almost a year now lol as my frame sits in my garage over the winter. if you use any putty to smooth welding imperfections, and are new at it, be prepared to get extremely agitated. Its really annoying working with bondo at first because sometimes no matter how many times you redo it at first, it never looks and feels quite right lol. i still have trouble with the wretched bondo sanding blues.
