The tear down

It was these wires that started the whole thing.  I decided then to do a re-wire of the entire truck. I purchased a Painless wiring kit (it's still in the box unused). I was going to clean up the engine and take of the bed box to make the wiring a little easier.  Once I had the bed box off, I made a decision not to stop there.  I was going to clean up the frame and replace all of the bushing and any other rubber components. Although the truck was assembled in 1964, it had low mileage, just over 100,000 miles. So, while I had the bed off I was going to take it to the next level.  As it turned out, this was just a small beginning, although I didn't know it at the time.
