Went by the painters yesterday. Finally some progress. It has been slow, but the bodywork looks awesome. Hope to get some color on soon.

Just read through the build thus far, sad in the beginning, but inspiring. I'll be watching this one. Keep up the good work bringing the truck back to life.

My truck was in the bodyshop for 3 years from start to finish and I almost gave up several times but got inspiration from all the builds going on here that kept me going .In the end mine was very much worth the wait and the shop did an exceptional job on it and yours will be worth the wait too.

Flashed, I will stay at it. It is hard to keep your mind on it when all you can do is wait. I have looked around for some pics if your truck, do you have any posted?

The paint work on the cab and doors looks very nice. You should have some inspiration now to keep it going.

Great work so far.

Take care,
Tom

Cab finally back on. What is the order you guys usually reassemble? I am sure some things don't matter, but I am sure it is easier if certain things are done first. Any input is appreciated.

Re: 70 Short Stepside
 
That is beautiful :) Very nice. I'll bet you are excited to keep it going.

I am not sure how others would do it but the next step I would do is get the firewall area back together on both sides. You will need the firewall insulation which goes inside first. I would get the master cylinder/brake booster installed and run the brake lines and bleed the brakes, then get the steering hooked up.

I guess it depends on what needs to go on first so you are not pulling parts off to install other parts. You may want to invest in an assembly manual and try to follow it. It will save you time and show you the proper order of assembly.

Keep up the good work. If you need gauge cluster work, I know a person that can help ;)
