Thanks for the encouragement.
I have been sidetracked by other vehicles that I've now sold. In their place, I bought a reliable "daily driver" WS6 with a built LS7 swap.
The other cars I had were attention and maintenance hogs, so I needed something that wouldn't give me trouble but that could still get the blood flowing

So all that said, attention is back on the C10, and so this weekend I tore down the cab. I'm going to prime and paint the cab after sandblasting it (inside, underside and all) but I'm wondering how easy/hard and expensive/inexpensive it is to remove all the glass or if it's just better to leave as is and tape the windows and seals off.

In case I decide to shave holes, I marked the holes I have to keep in the swap.

The factory HVAC setup is all there and in tact and worked but the ducting under the dash was just rough and I would like to get a more simple and cleaner setup anyhow (maybe Vintage Air, not sure)
Anyone know the story behind the factory lettering on the firewall here?

I'm not personally a fan of the factory bench, although I do want to be able to take two passengers with me, so I'm hoping to score a deal on some gray 2011+ Honda Odyssey seats for cheap somewhere. They will also give me the option of a fold down middle seat and also cup holders, etc.

I know the Previous Owner (PO) did already paint and treat a lot of surface area before laying down the sound/heat deadening material but I'm probably going to rip it all up and blast all this metal too. I hate to be this far down and not do that, lol, but that thinking is truly truly destroying all date goals for this project.
