Hey Don

I am in the same boat as you, I am a computer guy for 10 years now, I have 2 CMP's that I want to restore to showroom condition and then take them out for a ride. I also can handle a ratchet and other tools however a welder is going to be interesting. I think a lot of guys here are trying to tell you that these trucks were made for offroad and not speed so the upgrades are thinking of making could be problamatic for you. If you do get the upgrades in and the truck runs for you then I think that is great, as you say another truck saved from the wrecker and the rust, I personally would rather see the truck running than rusting or flattened.

Good luck on your restoration and remember to post plenty of pics as we all would like to see the progress even if some are against your plans. If you need any pams or whatnot let me know.
