It has been awhile since I posted so figured I needed to update. Progress has been slow with other commitments and I bought another project (a running driving one) that has taken priority to get the short list of work done (almost there).
I have come to call this my Johnny Cash project - one piece a time.
1. I rebuilt the vent windows and found it very challenging. I threw away the LMC weatherstripping that was junk and bought Precision weatherstripping that was better quality and fit. 2. Almost complete demolition of the cab floor pan. I built a home made stand. Mocked up the firewall and floor pan fit on the frame with a jig to match to the frame mount points. I have about 18 hours in it so far. 3. Fit but did not install the wood bed floor. I am using marine grade plywood with 6 coats of poly urethane. The floor will be two pieces not seven. They do make 4'x10' sheets of plywood; lucky I bought it last year. 4. Started prepping and priming the cab, doors and hood. Even thought the parts were dipped I am spending a lot of time on prep. 5. Working on small parts like the door inner parts, reconditioning, priming painting.
I went to the Iola show last week and it was nice to be out and about at a good car show.
