Thanks Craig. We know what you mean. These old trucks worm their way into peoples' hearts for more than just "being trucks", don't they?

Tonight I rigged up and lifted off the cab. Hopefully, the next time I pick it up it's going on the frame painted and complete. After the lift, I had to clean up the welds on the firewall for the gas pedal modification of a 72 pull type/02 avalanche cable combo I made. This was right up against the engine so I couldn't do it prior. Next, I drilled holes in my cross irons to bolt the cab down. Ran some 1" stitch welds on the trailer frame to the cross bars, lowered the cab, slid in bolts and tightened everything down. This trailer idea is going to be slick. Methinks. I hope!

Hours: 550

Excited to start blasting. Oh boy, I hope I haven't forgotten anything...


Update: fits like a glove. I'm going to put some wheel dollies under the tires to cock it sideways in the booth for a bit more room. I will also pull off the pintle hitch and the rear bumper to gain about a foot of wiggle length.
