Thanks, Gus and Pete.

I have done both- checked out the manual and treated the bottom of the cab with KBS.

I transferred the ID with the VIN from the '51 cab and attached it to the '53 cab.

I'm still playing with the braking system.

I just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something relatively obvious.

Thanks again.
