I have a problem where if I don't see some kind of large scale progress, sometimes I start feeling discouraged. So, my wife and I went and picked out paint together a couple weeks ago. Originally I was going to go with a light creamy color with black emblems, and running boards. The wifey just couldn't handle that and talked me into a fancy color. I'm calling it burnt orange. In bright light it looks more orange and in dimmer light it has reddish hues. I like it a lot. Painted the interior a metallic grey. I am still going with the black emblems and boards. I was going to do the cream color in hopes of it not showing quite all the body work imperfections, but oh well. It's gonna be a driver and will be getting dinged up anyway.

We have only 2 days of 70s weather left for this fall season. We are getting rain day after tomorrow and then it gets cold for as long as my weather app goes out. I wanted to get the cab painted so I would have it to work on during our winter. Can't wait to get it mounted back on the chassis.
Looks great, I know what you mean about getting the cab back on the chassis, I only have mine in primer but I did mount it and hope that I can paint it in place.
Well I managed to get the cab mounted a while back. Having a lift made it seem an easier task. I'm not very good at documenting all the steps but I haven't been spending a lot of time on it either
After reading lots of threads on insulation and what guys have been using I decided to use some peel and stick roof stuff for behind seat. I found 6x8 indoor/outdoor carpet at Lowes for 25 bucks, it went with the interior color great. Probably use it on the floor too
