I get what your saying
My trucks have been become secondary to my 68 RR too...
Been a while since I've done a truck build, other than just bolt on or tinkering...
I'm helping my neighbor Darren {Ca. Game Warden}
do a frame off 68 CJ5 Jeep/Kaiser 225ci V6 Dauntless 3 speed/OD, Dana 44's
that was his dads from new, he's a real novas, but he's willing to learn,
but had some body shop experiences {his dad owned in Oakdale for 20+ years}
So it's not all to bad, he listens & I really appreciate it,
I tell him something & he trusts what I say, that's a real rarity today,
everyone thinks they have all the answers...LOL
He is certainly a OCD type guy, that asks a lot of questions,
kind of over thinks stuff, it's his baby thou, he wants it right...
It's been a while since I did a Jeep too, but it's not rocket science...
It all comes back pretty quickly, BUT;
I do find myself using Google search & the Willys Kaiser site searching stuff,
refreshing my memory a bit too...
