Got the cab on, now what? Experienced Frame-Off gurus step inside...
Got my cab set down on the frame this weekend, now I'm trying to plan my next steps. I have been looking at MANY of the build threads to see how/what/when others are doing things, but I figured I'd post it up for discussion. I have all the parts already - wiring kit, interior pieces and all the underhood stuff.
My plan was to lay down the Dynamat inside the cab, then mount the brake & clutch master cylinders on the firewall, plumb the hydraulics (brakes/steering) under the hood then jump back inside and install the wiring harness inside, wire the engine and finish out the interior. Then install the fenders, hood and doors. I just want to go in an order where I'm not fighting myself having to take stuff back apart due to doing things out of order. There is a pile of parts sitting in my garage so it's hard to resist the urge to just start bolting crap on just to see what it looks like. I want to be more efficient at this stage in the project so I can be driving this thing come spring of 2015.

Re: Got the cab on, now what? Experienced Frame-Off gurus step inside...
here's a pic with some sun on it. As for the core support, it's stock, but I took a couple hole saws and some dimple dies to it.

Re: Got the cab on, now what? Experienced Frame-Off gurus step inside...
I'm sure everyone has a different way to do it. When Mine was at the place yours is I started by putting the doors on, then put all the glass back in it followed by the everything on the inside i.e. Steering column gage cluster etc. then sent it over to have the wiring put in it.

Re: Got the cab on, now what? Experienced Frame-Off gurus step inside...
The steps i use are as follow. Interior- put everything that can be chunked, Heater ducts etc. together before hand . Start at the dash pad and work down and out. From pad do the wiring and then radio and heater. Run ducting and dash cluster. From there glove box and column and emergency brake assembly. From there install carpet dome light seat belts and then gas tank. Install seat then doors and and window regulators. Install glass loosely and then install vent windows, followed by weather striping. On engine bay run engine harness across firewall and hook up starter etc. Install outside heater box if not already complete with interior stuff. Run headlight harness and hook up at core support. Install inner fenders next- the cab will square core support via the inner fenders. Install all of this loosely. Install outer fenders based off of doors and adjust as needed. Install hood latch, hood hinges and grill. Install front bumper. Front assembly should be complete or very close from this point. Hope this helps.

Re: Got the cab on, now what? Experienced Frame-Off gurus step inside...
damn, shes gonna be a beautiful girl.. nice color choice!
One question with the smoothed firewall, what are the 4 tubes sticking out? Is that heat and air hookups? What suspension did you use? Ok that was two questions...

71 Super, great info on putting the truck back together. I'm hoping to be ready to put things back together this spring and I'll bookmark this page for sure! Great question Boss. That color and smoothed firewall look great!
