Late last night I picked up this looker. All And all it seems in decent shape. There is a couple dents on the exterior that I can learn to work out and a little bit of rust on the bottom of the tub on one of its cross supports. The frame is really solid so I don't think there is much to do there so I'm debating where I should start.
I'm thinking about pulling the tub first and maybe cleaning up some of the welds with a grinder and the chopping off the hitch so I can have a receiver type hitch welded on the front. I've welded with gas but that was 10 years ago so I'm debating if I should have someone do my welding or should I teach myself on this project? After a new receiver hitch is welded on I was thinking about taking the trailer frame into get sand blasted and them powdercoated then work on the suspension and convert the hubs to 6 lugs. Those are my thoughts for now.
Anyone have any input on where I should start and what I should take care of first?
