Parts list is pretty short. Front duece springs, hangers and the u bolts. I had to replace the steel brake line because it was so rusty and the rubber line going to the axle since it was cracked up pretty good. You'll need tall jack stands. No specialty tools needed but they will make it easier, a plasma cutter would be great but my 4" grinder with a cutting disc worked fine, I went through about 15 discs. I managed to do without an air hammer because it was just too loud in my tract house. A cutting torch will drastically cut down the time with the rivets, I took the hard way and cut the heads off, drilled them out then hammered them out, it gets old real fast, I recommend using a torch which I finally did on the last few rivets. Its mostly labor. Nothing too hard but when you have little children to take care of and a wife that needs attention plus a regular job, then it makes it a long process. I havent decided on rims yet, I will have to sell my M1009 or work some overtime if I want to get some of OD Irons rims. Havent decided on tires yet either, I will have to see where the good deals are and factor in shipping costs. I wont have it on the road until at least next week due to my work schedule and still having to bleed the brakes and weld the bed up.
