My cab is in bad shape due to a CB antenna on the roof leaking over the years. the inner roof is all rotted and the rockers and cab corners are gone. I'm going to practice doing the body work on this truck and just have something to tinker on as the time goes on.

Yes, I believe it's a Dana 60.

I rebuilt the motor, minus anything related to the cylinders and cam. I pulled off the heads for a resurfacing and valve job, unfortunately the machine shop found hairline fractures after the magnaflux ;(. So I bought a different set of heads that the shop had lying around.

I'm in the same "practicing" mindset. I need to weld on new rocker panels and footwells, so we'll see how my welding skills are!
