What is the "order of operations" one should do to take apart a 1983 FJ60 for some major overhaul work ? I see the "major" jobs, the details of which I can search for in other threads, as :
1) removal of engine/tranny/front end
2) removal of axles
3) removal of frame from body
If there are some other "major" jobs needed to take apart the truck please let me know. But what I am seeking is simply what order I should take things apart in to make the process easy and as painless as possible ?
A bit of background:
If all goes well next month I will finally have clear 300 square foot garage to work in for the upcoming year or so. I want to take the whole thing apart (frame off, axles off, engine and tranny out) for a major overhaul including blazing and powder coating the frame and axles, body paint job, engine and tranny work, leaf springs etc. etc...
Any input is appreciated.
