Just a little progress report. One more little welding project on the firewall and I’ll be able to tip it back down on the frame. Cab mounts were either cracked or broken completely out and had rot at the bottom sides to re-fabricate. Cleaned it all up, new wood blocks, primer, sealed and under coated. All important, but will never be seen. Atta boys accepted in advance. LOL

If you are missing one component, you'll need an abundance of the others two.

Looks like the finished product will be good for another 75 years.
