This is how it looked a few months ago before the motor spun a bearing

Very good.

Could you please explain, step-by-step, and in great detail how did you get the whole front end off in one piece?    fenders attached to grill/radiator support.

Done some trading wound up with some 35's on 16x8 wheels. I have a 91 core support and grill to go in when it cools off some.  Then the next project will be redoing the other cab I have then put it on and paint the truck.

Very nice! I would have never thought the truck could even look as good as it does in the last pic... from looking at the first pic lol. That's one long truck. Paint it! But what color...?
