Thank you all for you kind words and confirmation that my time to date is neither unussual or problematic.
Paul, I remember those days when the frame was out for blasting and painting. Pretty hard to manuver around the heavy stuff much less find space for all of the bulky stuff (cab included) when you are at that stage of things.
As noted life does throw curve balls, right now I am in process of refurbishing our master bedroom that has sidelined truck progress. There is a bit more urgency to the bedroom project as sleeping in the dining room does include some challenges.
