Re: 1968 C40 to K40 pickup project BlueMule

So, once again it has been a while since my last update. there has been progress, but not as much time to document it as I had.

A couple months ago, I placed the cab and bed back on the frame to be able to get measurements so I can shorten the frame, as well as double check the clearances for engine to cab, radiator etc...
I also put the bed in place on spacers so it would be the correct height, and centered the wheel openings over the axle. Once that was done, I was able to determine that I would need to shorten the frame 23 1/2 inches.

Since it was so close to looking complete, I also put all the body panels back on to kind of get a feel for how it would all look together.

Incredible work! And thank you for the documentation - gives me some motivation and encouragement to do some repairs on my C50. Keep up the good progress!
