Also, new truck style motor mounts showed up so I can test fit the engine.

Awesome!! Glad to see your making progress. The paint on the cowl makes it look like a John Deere. LOL

Haha! I know right. The inner fenders are Ford blue. Somebody must've had some leftover paint...

Alright, my friend that's helping me with the body/paint came over and gave the truck a thorough inspection. I think we have a good plan of attack on this. We'll slowly start moving his shop into my shop. This is his last vehicle before retirement and I have a good feeling he's gonna go above and beyond. We did go do a little shopping and browsing around. I had a house of kolors paint picked out till I saw the price.... I may go a different route now. We'll see.... The wife stills wants that color...

Keep up the good work. The paint can be pricy as hell. I went with a cheaper paint and regret it. The paint i put on looks good but is easy
to chip. :(

Ok, work has been crazy, however, I've tried to do some stuff on the truck. I got all the brake lines bent, test fit, and pulled back off as I still have a little frame work I want to do. My body man made it over the other day. There's no rust on this truck but there is a lot of holes that need to be welded in. We pulled a couple small dents plugged 80 holes on just the cab Saturday. The cab is getting close to blasting. Progress is happening just slowly.

OK, got the cab off and set on a little roll around frame I built.

Previous owner boxed the frame in if that's what you want to call it. Welds are not that great and fab work leaves a little to be desired. I think I will try and fix the welds and make the boxing look presentable.
