PTC...that's good to know it worked. Looks like the best solution.
Busy morning...I got the dash protrusions cut out and test fit the new smooth panel. I'll definitely follow PTC's and DSRaven's lead on how it will be attached.
Drill the rivets on the GVW plate and the spot welds on the VIN plate and got them of the truck and in a safe place.
Found 4 hooks from my Dad's old stuff and bolted them in. Lifted the cab using my engine lift and ratchet straps. Slid the truck laterally in the garage away from the lift and pulled the cab far enough the other way so I could roll the frame outside. Suddenly, I have a bigger garage!
Cab is now ready for additional work. I need to rotate it so I can get to the bottom to remove the undercoating. Looks like the best way is to roll it onto the firewall. Rolling it on its back will bend my new corners. Any suggestions on removing undercoating???? Used a heat gun on the lower firewall but it was slow going. Hope to have it to the blaster in a week.
Outside and now under a new tarp.
