Well I think it's time to start my build thread. It might take a while to get all of it done that I want, but it will all work out in the end. First off If you didn't notice in my sig, I am selling the bike. Just no time for it right now and figured I don't want it to sit around. So I am letting it go. Have a couple guys interested but nothing serious yet. So when I sell the bike I will be getting my lift and then in the fall will be getting the tires. Now on to the burb. Plans are to fix it up a little till I get another truck. The things I am planning are fix/clean up interior, fix/stop the rusty body panels and lift it and throw some new tires on it. I have all ready took the big ugly looking bumper off that it came with and fabbed up a new one.

So the things I plan on doing next will be the front fender on the drivers side and the grill. It needs a new windshield and the steering column is in need of replacement. The till is WAY loose and the steering wheel moves around a lot at the spot where it tilts. The local salvage yard has two of them. will be getting one very soon. (need to get back to working again, damn melting snow and rain ) Also needs some minor fixing up in other areas. Tie up some wires under dash and what not. Needs rockers on the drivers side and a rear fender on the drivers side. Passenger side looks good so far. I'm sure there are some things I am forgetting or haven't found yet.
As for a parts list, I don't have to much to buy as of yet. But I do have the lift and tires picked out I want. I am going with a Rough Country 6" lift, new springs front and rear and all other accessories that are need. For tires I am going with Cooper Discoverer STT size 315/75/16. Friend can get them for a good price from the tire guy he know. As for any other parts right now I will find in the salvage yard or somewhere else I guess.
If anyone has some input let me know. It's always welcome.
