My Unexpected '66 SWB-Fleet-Restomod Project! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I didn't get alot accomplished this weekend, but since the cab & doors are pretty-much ready for paint, I decided to get them out of the way so that I could start on the box.
We took it in the "storage quarters" and set it on the frame...for the first time!
It seems that I have a small interference with the flange on the firewall.
I will fix it before it goes to paint.
You can see my dad with the attachment that he made for the cherry-picker for lifting the cab onto the frame,
It looks way to high sitting on the frame...Time to order the airbags.
Been kinda waiting for this moment to get some measurements.
Does anyone know what bags are the best for these trucks?
