    Hello,

    I am new to the restoration space and this is my first complete frame up restoration. I am looking to see if anyone has a "build list' of all the parts needed to complete the truck with basically all new parts. I have all metal parts and glass but looking to have all new everything else. I will be keeping the original flathead engine in it. This is what I have purchased so far:

    Complete Mustang Ii Ifs Front Suspension Kit
    Need All Spring Kit 53-54 Rear Short & Smooth
    Spring Hanger, Rear, Adjustable 53-56 (front Of Rear Spring)
    Sway Bar, Front, For Stock & Dropped Axles

    This has been purchased thru MidFifty.

    Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
