Re: What order to restore?

Long ago I'd do a little here, a little there, including some frame "restoration". In my case, at the end of the day I accomplished nothing more than a cleaner surface to strip down again and do it right.

My original intent was a nice restore and refinish everything I could. Thanks to this website (blame you) I came to the conclusion that wasn't good enough either, so I'm slowing tearing it down to just engine and tranny.

It really depends on your ultimate goal, time and money.

With assys, the guide accts for 1000s details such as OEM identifications& part numbers, written in short order. 700+ images include assm, illust., charts, and points of interest. Much of the info. applies to all 67-72 GM trucks, and to a lessor degree all 67-72 GM vehicles. My build thread, and more on the guide https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=730025
