I'm good on the block & head. With the headers i might have to make some room. I have Flowtech's that dump in the rear.

Thanks

Looks SWEET! Do you plan on removing the trailing arm crossmember with the cab on? Those rivits on the top are gonna be fun with the cab mounted! Good luck and keep going on the progress! I hope to be ordering my trailing arms here shortly! Again very nice build I'm jealous!

Thanks all.

Well i got started on the rear half and let me tell you those 4 little rivets on top of the trailing arm crossmember are a pain in the A$$. It took me 2 hours of grinding, air hammer and BFH to get that crossmember out of there. But its out and on to the next phase

What worked best for me was to grind off the heads on the inside of the top rail (4 rivets) and use the air hammer to punch them threw the top from the inside. Never had to try and get between the cab and frame. once the crossmember was out i grinded what was left of the top rivets and air hammered them the rest of the way out with a punch bit.
