Ok I got the first load of parts and 1st chasis home Saturday. If your wondering there are 2 chasis and parts of 3 bodies in the package I bought got the first load unloaded and started tinkering and found out fast there was some basic tools I didn't have all I needed of. I knew there would be tools I didn't have just figured I was mostly safe on the basic stuff.
Went to the local flea market on Sunday and found both the wrenches i needed. When i got home got the tie rods off that the po had already taken halfway off. Then went to work on the front bumper some mamoth thing someone along the way built them selves and got it off.
Then today monday I got antsy and went out and started moving the thing by myself then the wife came out and helped me get it into posistion and got the body witch was already loose off and onto some sawhorses I had laying around. After that got it into the basement, as I have one of those basements where it has a garage door and you can have full access too it. Well got it in and started ripping things off like springs and shocks, finally got everything loose so I could pull the front end off and pulled it off and pushed it aside. This particular chasis doesn't have an engine in it only trans and transfer case and that is next. Once those are out I can pull the rear end and push the frame outside. I plan on using the front end from this frame as it has disc brakes. Probably will use the other frame if it is good as it is the one with a title and glove box that matches since they came from TN. Hopefully I can have everything disasembled by the end of the week as the 2nd I am going to pick the next load of parts and chasis up in tri cities area.
