Re: Brent's '72 Custom/10 SWB stepside build

Here's where we're at as of now. Cab's off the frame and on a pallet. Everything that can be stripped from the cab is out. Got the rear window out no problem but broke the windshield like an idiot trying to get it to pop loose from the adhesive. Turns out it had a couple rock chips anyway that I hadn't noticed previously, so it would have been worthless even if I hadn't broken it, but I felt dumb nonetheless.

The frame is stripped as much as possible. Ended up removing the center crossmember (braindead tonight, can't even remember if that part has a specific name) due to unfortunate rust issues. At least they're in a flat, not easily visible spot so repair should be straightforward.

Gotta figure out my blasting setup tomorrow morning. Really want to see some bare metal before lunchtime but I don't want the stuff going absolutely everywhere. I've got some ideas and just have to do it, but I'm too exhausted tonight to carry on.
