Interior/Wiring Install Steps on Paint only Cab

Hi Guys,

Got my cab back from paint and it's sitting on the frame now. I'm trying to figure out the best order in which to install stuff back into and onto the cab.

I figured cab mounts (Duh!) and i've got the dash pad on, but now what?

I've got an American Autowire Harness to install as well as an Old Air Products A/C system for a Factory A/C cab. The rest is pretty much stock.

It's going from bare paint (firewall too) on up.

Suggestions?

Then you can move on to ebrake assembly, then wiper motor / windshield washer assembly, then steering column, horn relay, and radio. Then start wiring installing switches and controls as you go. WES
