your at the right place. these guys do it all; stock to full custom.
depending on your abilities, it can be a piece of cake or your worse
nightmare. take your time, learn what to do, make a plan, tear your truck
apart and then change your plan ten times. just kidding on that last one,
but it might happen. make a realistic budget, these things can get
expensive, there are high price store boughts and junkyard deals to be made.
I'm doing what you mentioned to a 58 3100, same truck with minor trim
changes. check out my website, I think I'm headed for the extreme end, I
have way too many hour just in getting a rolling chassis.
you might want to check the archives, a lot has been discussed in the 2
years I've been on the list.
