Bought the door latch kit

They look really nice and will let me put 52 model handles on it.

Here are the reinforcement plates that go in the doors for the later handles

Also shown are rear cab mounts, I decided to update to the later style. And because of the 3" body lift I'll need to fabricate my own lower mounts. (Really like the cast GMC lower parts though, they fit a 34" wide frame and mine is 36".)

Continuing work on the firewall

Have one side of it scribed and fit together. Ready to scribe and cut the other side to fit, then tack weld in place, test fit the cab on the truck just to be sure and finish welding.

Soon will have AC kit and electric wipers to fit in the cab. I need to fit all the new stuff before it goes out for paint...
