I'm Awesome

My plan for years was to get a hard working Truck and rebuild it from the ground up.
Being Slightly OCD, I laid forth a plan.
Truth Table:
Making my own wiring harness will be the fun part, I did it with my 89' YJ TBI.
Basically all #14 Blue stranded wire, Waterproof connectors, wire number labels to correlate with the factory numbering scheme. No frame grounds, run back to collection points. Any OEM wire larger then #14 will be a special case scenario.
The Garage:
I've cleaned the shed up since.
The Truck before tear down:

Truth Table:
Buy A house with Acreage | CHECK - 2 Acres (not a farm, but close enough) |
House has to have a detached Garage in the North 40 | CHECK - See Pic below |
Buy an old Truck that has massive hauling capacity for cheap | CHECK - K3500 Dually 1990 Flat bed with 5th Wheel Hitch and snow plow attachment = $3,500 |
Identify All the currently installed parts | CHECK - Thanks everyone for the input on my RPO and VIN posts |
Buy the Service Manuals and Wiring Manual | CHECK - The Wiring Manual will be the biggest help |
Document and take pictures of everything | IN PROGRESS |
Tear it down to the frame, clean and inspect parts | STARTING THIS WEEKEND |
Replace all consumables [Bushings, brake lines, fuel lines and wiring harness] | This will be a work in progress, documented here |
