Got a lot of work done over the past few days
We finally got the truck in the garage so I did not have to deal with the weather whenever I wanted to work. My main goal was to get all of the seams form the floor pan and fire wall patches sealed. I used some 35 year caulk that dries clear and is paint-able.
Here are some pictures of the floor pans all sealed, waiting for the caulk to dry
After that i sealed the fire wall and around the cab mounts
Once the floor dried I de-greased it and put on some primer and paint
Floor masked off

Then I went to town on the firewall. Cleaned it up, de-grease, and painted

The last thing on the list for the cab (other than doors) is the cab corners. Was going to buy them, but my dad figured out a way to make them himself, so there's some more money saved.
I also sealed the floor from under the cab, so once that dries I can throw some paint on the bottom of the cab.
Not sure when I'll be able to get more work done due to school starting next week
My project required much of what your doing and sometimes it seemed like I was
for dealing with it. Stick with it and be Proud of what you've done to save the Old girl
Wow! That's some Awesome Fabrication! When it's all said and done, You can step back, Smile, and Say "Yep, You Should've seen it when I started on it!". Major Kudos!!!!!!!!!
Hope to order the bushings, king pins and tie rods some time next week. Sorry for no pictures.... forgot to take out the camera, and not much to take pictures of anyway.
