I am currently taking everything off the car so I can get the frame out from under it. Click image for larger version

Let the fun begin. Been there and done that. Took 7 years for me before I drove it again.

I'm currently doing the same thing but I started on it a bit over year ago. Like carpoor said, ziplock is your friend, bag and tag EVERYTHING!!! Also, take as many pictures as you can! If your taking the body off the frame. I would start with striping the frame down and cleaning (sandblasting) and painting the frame and replacing the suspension the bushings unless your upgrade components.

I can't say anything for other brands but I pretty sure I got mine from Ground Up and they seem to be pretty good quality and they came with new bolts.
