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.

Yep.. I know who Nick is... I have never actually meant him but we tried to make a few deals for some stuff I had...

Elliot949 · 01-04-2014, 06:54 AM

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

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.
