Nice to see these babies getting finished. I’m at the other end of the project. Finished disassembly and starting to remove bad metal from the lower front cowl all the way to the rear cab corner. Lotsa spot welds, cutting and fitting. Just now starting to put pp’s in for the inner cab corner and latch side pillar. Decided to get a small media blaster so i can clean all the brackets and areas that will be hidden once the metal is back in place. Im figuring on 4-5 years for my 58. Like you, I’m going down to the frame once the main cab sheetmetal repairs are complete.

Kudos on your determination.
