I have started reconstruction on my 76

I have finally started to put my hunting rig back together. I have had this truck for 13 years. This is the 3rd cab I have put on this frame. It will even have working A/C when done. It has a 350 with flat top pistons, medium cam (can't remember the specs) Edelbrock performer carb, and manifold, headers, dual 40 series flowmasters, and dual 3" pipes from the mufflers back. Had to go 2.5" around the NP205 transfer case sice the 3" wouldn't fit well. I put a 4" EZ ride springs from Tuff Country to lift her up a bit. The 33x12.50" Thornbird tires grip well off road, especially if I need to crawl out of a rut. I had all of this done before, but the body was all black primer., and the rust monster had about eaten the cab I had on there. I bought this cab with the A/C stuff about 5 years ago, and had to replace the cab corners, and one rocker. This is not meant to be a show truck, just a decent hunting rig, that I won't have to worry about light scratches. I used PPG/Omni single stage catalized acrylic enamel paint, since it was inexpensive, and I'm not trying to win any shows with it. The color I stole from a 2004 Subaru WRX. It is a metallic blue pearl. I don't recomend a mettalic pearl single stage paint to anyone who is not experienced in painting. It is pretty dusty in these pics, but here they are.
