I just wish it hadn't taken me half the day to think of it!
Got the rest of the mounts made, fitted everything to the frame, beveled all the edges for welding, and then weld-thru primed it all. Whatever coating GM used on these frames is a huge pain to get off!
Also had to make a run to the store for hardware, 5/8" bolts to mount the cab and 3/8" for my "safety" on the mounts. I'm going to get high strength flange headed hardware for all this stuff in the end, but this will work for now.
Also, gauges are done! I should have them by end of the week
Only problem is, now I want to drive the darn thing! More to come tomorrow.
