Thanks for the thoughts on the earthquake. We didn't suffer too much real damage, just stuff puked off of shelves and cabinets on to the floor. Cleanup is slow in the garage, as I'm having to work inside the entirely full garage. As in move stuff to one corner and reorganize the spot that's cleared out, then go the other way. I'll be back at my restoration soon hopefully.
Your cab sounds like a twin of mine as far as initial condition. The cowls are kinked because the front mounts evaporated and sagged into the fenders.
Here's some shots of mine on the rotisserie.
Cab rotisserie if you scroll left you can see some of the progress, and a couple of shots of the mess the earthquake caused.
