Welcome Donny, I am just getting my 170 back together and it has been a fun, but long road. My advice would be to take pictures of EVERYTHING. Literally everything. As you take a part off, take a picture. Put parts in zip lock baggies and label them with a Sharpie. Keep notes and take more pictures. Last advice, ask questions here. I have asked more than one or two newbie questions and Craig or Dan or one of the others has chimed in with answers and not a one said anything about the questions being stupid.
Welcome to the club
Vince

: world, but I have never done auto body
: repair or mechanics of any kind before. I
: have had several 4x4's over time, from a 78
: F-150, 71 FJ40, two TJ wranglers and now I
: am the proud owner of my first FC-150.
:
: I am feeling a bit overwhelmed with what I
: have to do, but I have dreamed of driving
: this thing since I found it 18 years ago but
: was not able to get it until recently. I am
: in need of quite a lot for my FC and thought
: this would be the best place to start. I
: have not been able to locate the Vin number
: and have no idea of the year, but with the
: information I found here I at least know it
: is an early FC as for the grill and
: interior.
:
: The one thing I need more than anything is
: advise. Where do I begin?
