55.2-59 Ol' Blue

[8man]

Ok, I've not been asleep all this time. I have the frame almost ready to set the cab on it. That means the rear end is in place with the U-bolts tightened just a little to keep it from moving. I got some tires and wheels to make it a roller. The front end is mostly assembled, springs and spindles yet to go. However, I've been told not to do that until I am ready to put some weight on it. So, it will sit for a little longer.

I have cut off all the old stuff from the firewall, so I can start welding up holes. Today I got the 3-point seat belt brackets installed. This had me so concerned I did a separate post on it. Well, the anticipation was much worse than the installation.

I have been working on an AC vent for the middle of the dash. I am almost ready to cut the hole and get the mounting brackets finished. I saw it on Bob's truck and really liked it. I'll also be modifying the dash a little to get the extra controllers installed.

Next time I'll post more pictures.
