June 2024

Fabricated a driveshaft bushing puller. Tried using it and failed miserably. Wound up ordering one from a vendor. Installed the headliner and bows. Installed dash components (speaker grille & glove box door.) Installed lower door windlace and retainers. Installed and wired brake light and dimmer switches. Installed the engine in the chassis, Installed u-joint and torque tube ball, clutch and brake pedal shaft. Did some sanding and buffing on cab roof and passenger door. Had some friends and neighbors over to help set the cab on the frame.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
