Depends on motivation.
i would say i was pretty damn motivated, 36 hour work sessions, sure i only have weekends to work on it but i would say it would easily take a year to get that thing back togethor and running
i've been working on mine since february doing the 5 lug, new clutch and and suspension. it takes a while if your doing it by yourself or friends come over here and there to help.
i will say, if you have mutiple people, say 3 or 4 working eight hours a day, it can be done pretty fast.
But i'm not a Chick or a Chikin so no one will help me.. LOL..... no offense holychikin. LOL

WHile the interior is apart, install KILL SWITCHES! Make the cuts to the wiring in places you can't get to. I'd do at least 2, and get a car alarm. Don't tell anyone either!
That way...they would need to tow the car away to steal it (which still does happen, unfortunately)
you obviously never saw my first progress thread? or hell even my second. my first one was done in 3 months and i had zero interior engine or trans and swapped to all five lug and did it cheap. my second went through stages but i had it together in a few months and it had no core support or aprons.
I have stages planned out as well... where is your thread because I am SURE it's gonna be helpful!!
I am gonna do all that and MORE!! I am also going to get a LoJack so if they DO tow it, the cops will be knocking on their door within a few minutes!! The alarm is going to be so sensitive that they will be LUCKY to get it on to the truck before I come running out. YUP! YUP! YUP!!
I really hope others will learn from all this (I sure have)!! Because yeah, it has not been a fun experience!! PROTECT YO **bleep**!!
first one: one month. i five lug swapped it, swapped rear ends, 5 speed converted it, swapped motors, swapped from blue to black interior and done a ton of small stuff.

I have a company truck that regulary has many thousands worth of tools in it. All of our trucks are very well marked and people know what is in there, so we have maybe the most sensitive alarms on the planet. I am talking squirrel farts set this thing off. I will grab the lititure on it if you are interested.
hows the project coming? have any parts installed yet or are you still getting things together?
Congrats on gettin it back and puttin it back together!!
Thank you!! I got a LOT of work ahead of me!! YEESH!! **can't wait to start the "build thread"**
