Atleast you're starting with original rockers and other parts... mine has already been hacked by the PO so it will be fun getting them back in place...
Thanks,
No pictures of the B-pillar yet. The rockers cover them up for now.
I'm going to weld the floor to the firewall and screw the floor to the back wall. Then I'll tilt the cab back upright. Mount the floor to the chassis with the new hardware I just got at Carlisle.
I can work on the A and B pillars and the kick panels and align them to the new floor.

As far as painting the frame; my plan was to leave it that color.
I was going to paint the truck a two-tone dark blue and champagne with the chassis color as a stripe between them.
I keep changing my mind.
I might also repaint the chassis dark olive and paint the truck the original color of medium olive.
