I don't know, maybe I didn't see it mentioned but isn't that a 60-62 dash and then 64-66 door style??? What a beautiful fabrication job!

Thanks Dino, that dolly is gonna really be invaluable as we move it from shop to shop to work out body mounts, the cage, and then back to paint.

Thanks, appreciate that...and yes, you are correct on the dash swap. We both really preferred the symmetry of the double hump, and the cut-outs on each side will accommodate the a-pillar down tubes of the cage.

Thanks y'all, it means the world to me to be able to share this passion with my son (and family).

My boy worked with our paint/body buddy/guru, Dennis, again today to get the cab roughed in and under a coat of primer so we can bring it home for a couple months while he undergoes/recovers from a bit of spinal surgery.

Thanks again guys!

The bottom of the cab has been under coated and we sprayed a few coats of primer onto it for now. All the extension is done on the outside, but we still have the inside panels to do, along with fixing a few dings and smoothing down the exterior.

Thanks guys, it's nice seeing this part come together...lot's left to do though.

My boy brought it home today. We'll work out the cage details at a buddy's shop over the next few weeks (months?), get the body mounts done, and reassemble the front clip (probably a few times), work out the bed details, basically have to finish the rest of the truck before disassembling for final bodywork and paint.
We'll paint it out in pieces and eventually reassemble...shouldn't take but another couple years:lol::lol:

Few pics of it in the sunlight...it's been about 2 1/2 years since it was last outside. :metal:

I might have missed it, but what kind of rear side windows & seal will you be using?

We will be having a window cut from smoked glass and glued in on the same plane that the front windows will rest on.

And speaking of front windows, we picked these up. Smoked one-piece windows and the power window kit. :metal:

Where did you find those? I have not seen that kit before that I know of. I will be curious to see how the install goes.
