Your making some really good progress on this truck. I'm glad it came out of the barn and is getting what it deserves. Keep up the good work Dillon.

Cherry Picker through the cab with the doors off and Tie down straps out to the 4 corners of the cab...

Re: 68 Chevy c10 rebuild and shortbed conversion

I also stuck a cherry picker through the door opening but used a stout 4x4 with slots cut to match the pinch welds at the top of the opening. I also flipped the boom over and ran a long bolt with a fender washer up through the 4x4. I was a little worried doing this cuz I already have my cab bodywork done but it was a piece of cake. I also picked up some cheap casters from HFT and made a dolley to set the cab on.
