Been awhile, time for an update. What I thought was a clean cab was, but it was tweaked to hell. Rectum, damn near killed em! The windshield would not fit and DS door would not close because the previous Lead repair on the DS pillar was 7/8" short. The roof was pretty hammered in two spots so I decided to find another.
Found an old replacement cab tonight, can't wait to start cleaning it up and fitting the 57 dash as it is a 58 GMC.
Had my frame sandblasted and then I brush painted it with Rustoleum. Have step notched the rear frame rails using Paul Hortons Welder series notch kit, relocated the '73 K5 Blazer gas tank to the rear and relocated the battery to under the PS cab step on the frame.
The lowered front axle is in with new kingpins, what a rodeo that was! Also on my second rear end, the first one spit out two pinion teeth when I was rolling it around, final painting it......whoops, lesson learned.
Need the temperatures to drop back down so I can lose my excuses and get busy!!!
