got to work tearin' the front apart today, plan on painting the stuff soon
First time we moved the truck in a few years, i bet it was happy.
anyone know what kind of rims these are?
thought i had to take the door off to get a bolt to the quarter panel, but guess not.
and we tore it down some more it was just to dark to get pictures.
How do you like my nice after market grille?

Re: Tear down!
That's the ez part. (Advice) get you some good zip lock bags, and lable every thing. That's what I should have done, but didn't. The hard part is putting everything back together. I heard some where? If everything is lined up to drill very small holes where the fenders, ect... join together so that way when you go to putting it back together all you have to do is aligne the small holes. Another thing I should have done.
The rims are LMC. I got mine their cheep. To keep them from rusting, I put wax all over the rim insideout, back, and front.
Good luck on your project..

Re: Tear down!
A bazillion different companies make/made those wheels. The were very popular! I think they are commonly refered to as "bullet hole wheels."
I did the zip lock bag deal when I rebuilt my Duster. It makes all the difference in the world ! Beats the crap out of a pile of nuts & bolts...

Re: bed off
good work, now get the chassis stripped and painted!
Yes those are the parking brake cables. they should hook up to that swing-arm, you're missing a few pieces.
