Last night I prepped, painted and seam sealed the bottom of the cab. I painted it with the same chassis saver paint I used on the frame. Should keep the rust at bay for a good while. I used lord fusor 800 dtm seam sealer. Then I set the cab in place with new cab mount bushings, I still need to shim the cab and square it all up. Today I set the bed on the frame, and installed the rear drive shaft. I then calculated and set the pinion angle for the rear end. I tacked the perches to the axle tubes for now. In the next week or so I’m hoping to pull the rear and weld the perches and shock mounts up permanent. At that point I’ll clean and paint the rear end. If you haven’t read the whole thread it’s got a floating 14 bolt from a later truck in it. It’s nice to see it all taking shape again. Progress is the best motivator. The shop crane truck was a real life saver for setting both the bed and the cab.
