[68 TT]

Made a little progress. Just too darn hot to do much.

Got the steering column hooked up so it was steerable then got it out of the back yard and into the driveway.

Got it leveled out and cut the bed shims to get the intermediate rear rail to clear the back of the wheel arch in the frame then drilled the new bed mount holes & bolted the bed in place.

Fought with the cab for a while trying to get it squared up but it kept pivoting around. Got it close enough I could measure for the cab mount brackets.

Cut out most of the 1/4" steel plate pieces to build the new cab mount brackets and drilled all the flange pieces for the mount bolt holes.

Once I find the body mount bushings I am going to use I can bolt them to the cab and get the cab mounts tacked together and in place so I can drill the frame for the mount bolts.

After the cab is locked down I can work on fabricating the core support mount brackets that will be welded to the front spring hangers and secure the front clip.

The next step will be getting the drivetrain installed and make this pig run & drive again. I'm considering dropping the engine from my Malibu into this thing to get it running sooner and putting the EFI motor into the Malibu instead of the truck.
