Thanks

Yes I do sift it twice before I use it. It has a lot of bigger pieces that will clog the nozzle all day long. I have a sifter I made from two pieces of plywood with a piece of window screen sandwiched between them. I made it to fit on top of a 5 gallon bucket. I'll take some pictures of it when I go back out there next for you.

I have new rubber cab bushings to install when I get to that point. Goal this weekend is engine and trans set in place.

Sounds good man. So where your A & B pillars ok then? I would guess if your cab supports were bad the a pillar would be too. Look forward to seeing your progress.
