Worked on putting another skim coat in a few areas that needed to be tapped down on the drinker side. Also got the first coat on the captain's side after doing some dolly and hammer work. Only had to put in two stud pins and pull with the Steck lever. I also took another 30 minutes or so to strip the red primer off the back of the cab. That revealed the most medium blue in one spot so far.

Proceeded to take out the back window so I could get the rest of the cab stripped down. No big surprises, a little surface rust and pitting in the bottom of the window. That will clean up just fine with a wire wheel and treat with some converter to be safe. Then moved up to the top of the roof to finish stripping off the surface rust. Only found two little spots that will need some filler where the two small holes are forward on the roof by the cab lights in the center.
