55 parts and pieces to 55 1/2 ton 4x4 woohoo let the fun begin

Sometimes...usually not the perfect time but it is what it is, life just throws you a curve ball. This is the 1st time for me that it's all in the right direction...not the best time but...you'll understand. So, I have a 66 custom deluxe that I was going to convert to 4x4...life got in the way and 3 surguries later I can't fit the 66 so I'm just gonna throw in a th 350 and call it done...So I have ALL the driveline from a 76 Blazer that I was going to use...didn't know what to do with it all...While picking up a hood for my 66, the only part left to finish that..I noticed a PERFECT 55 cab...now I know a few people so I made some calls. Fast forward ...in less than a week I went from what do I do with all these 4x4 parts to A perfect frame,cab,nose,doors and most of the bed all with a clean tag/title/vin I already have the 4x4 driveline...So a bit long winded but that's the gist of it. I built a 58 4x4 a few years back and someone ponied up the "It's not for sale" price and I've regretted it ever since...I'll throw some pics up soon ,..I am disabled and work alone so it's not going to be a fast build but you're welcome to follow along....I'm sure I'll have some questions along the way so anybody that's done this PLEASE talk to me..give me some pointers..keep me motivated and heading in the right direction
