Got this thing and started the teardown back in 2007. I'll be posting some pictures of my progress in here for anyone interested.
The overall goal...how it looked back in '82:
Day one the tear down:

custom headliner w/ air shock controls, 6.5" speakers, hat rack and pitch/roll gauges

Up next: get the bed ready for body work.
