Re: 1985 Short Bed
Slow is better than none. It took me 1 year and a half between work and life. It is well worth it. Having the engine and tranny out will make the rest of your work easier.

Re: 1985 Short Bed
Got a chance to work on the truck a little, a lot of wet weather here lately, and getting closer to getting the cab off. Progress included getting both doors off and all the cab bolts out but one. That last bolt made about 3 turns and froze up, want go in or out so my question is what do you guys do with something like this. Other problem is the inside bolt to the upper door hinge fell out of the socket and drop to the inner rocker, I think, so how do you remove this bolt or just leave it and replace it with another.

Re: 1985 Short Bed
After soaking the last cab bolt with pb blaster for about a week it still wouldn't turn, finally started spinning in the holder. Finally got it out but had to go a different route and after checking the bolt after removal replacement is in order. The next step is to get the carriage nut out.
