Hilarious!
I am cautiously optimistic, but have been here
Before. Feel like a broken record with this body
Shop stuff. If I could just get the cab back I could
Get the truck driving, braking, shifting and partially
Wired. So, we'll see.

I'm working on stuff in the cab, just ordered an antenna, cowl trash screen, windshield washer hoses. I'll soon be ordering a new wiring harness and getting the upholstery done.

Update!! Happy New Year gang!
Well, still waiting on the body shop for my cab. Yup been slow goin and totally shut down my progress. It is pretty cold now and until I have the cab, really no reason to freeze my ass off. I am yet again very frustrated with this body shop thing. I just don't get it……..

I did fit the truck bed to the frame and checked clearances for my fuel filler neck and looks like things are going to line up perfect. The filler door and neck that was fabbed into the bed is from an F100 so it's a filler/vent combo neck. I think I will just take the vent line from aluminum tank and put a filter on it since it doesn't need to be attached to anything.

Hopefully 2014 will be the year to actually be driving this thing. I just can't imagine why that wouldn't be the case.

So, hopefully more to come soon. Wish me luck!!

UPDATE - Oh the horror!
Stopped by the ol'e body shop last week hoping to see the truck in primer.
Nope! It hadn't been touched since the holidays. So. I decided since it has been nearly 8 months since I brought my cab to them, and considering that I still have a bed, doors, hood, and front clip yet to be painted, it's time to go. Yes, I realize that these things take time but F' them.

So, I got a lead from another restorer about a guy who works from his home. I was informed that I would have to wait a while, but that once my time came up in line, my truck would be the only thing he would be working on. Sounds good to me I say. After a few calls I was set up. So staring in March, I will begin hauling my truck piece by piece over to his shop.

On top of all this I have back surgery for a herniated disc coming up. Bummer!
Timing is everything.

More to come...
