Well.. I was wanting to get the dash and the rear of the cab in primer today because it was a very nice day but ran into a few problems. I started by filling an extra hole that was cobbled in by the radio and put the welder up and rolled the cab outside. I set up everything to start sanding and halfway through I laid underneath to get the bottom side of the dash and found the steering column holes had been ripped out. As it didn’t have a steering column on when I got it I never put my eyes on it. So rolled it back in and made some small backing plates out of 16 gauge and got it stitched in. Blew through one spot and was able to get it cleaned up after I turned the welder down a bit.
Was able to finish sanding everything up and plan to get some primer down tomorrow.
I found a local window place that cut my front and rear glass for a good price, I used them before and they mentioned they do older cars and trucks. I also ordered the weatherstripping for the cab windows and doors and the bed mounts/bolt kit. Still need to address the cab corners but need the doors on and think it will be more accessible on the frame. Frustrating day but moving forward.
