Thanks men, Hoping the cab will get paint on this weekend and then mad rush reassembly starts. We're planning a bid trip with the truck down east at the end of June, 3 weeks vacations, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI and Nova Scotia visit family and will hit a couple of car shows. Atlantic National in Moncton NB and Syracuse National in New York on the way back.

dubie · 05-19-2016, 03:08 PM

Valarius_Starchaser · 05-19-2016, 03:13 PM

**JML55** · 05-24-2016, 01:41 PM

An other piece of the puzzle done.

**bobinbc** · 05-24-2016, 11:30 PM

Jean-Marc I just read what happened to your truck! I fell off the board for a while and missed it when you finished and then WHAM I saw what happened just checking back on your thread! So sorry but so glad you and Heather were ok. You are doing an amazing job getting it back together! Man, you must know every inch of that baby with your eyes closed now! Can't wait to see it finished for last time! Beautiful job on it too by the way!

Thanks man, yes i sure know every nuts and bolts of this truck.

**JML55** · 05-25-2016, 12:15 AM

Finally sorted out the best way to mount the engine and tranny coolers. With the grill installed you wont notice they are there.

**JML55** · 06-07-2016, 12:43 AM

Good productive day, got the front sheet metal together

Kim57 · 05-25-2016, 08:24 AM

Got the cab back home last night. Now it's reassembly time.

**oldman3** · 05-31-2016, 06:55 PM

Won't be long now...Jim

**JML55** · 05-31-2016, 11:20 PM

Tonight was a good night, first we got the back window in the newly painted cab without a scratch. Then we swap the cab from the spare frame to the good frame, a tight fit but worked out pretty well.

Nev68 · 05-31-2016, 11:37 PM

Very nice.

**bobinbc** · 05-31-2016, 11:49 PM

Great progress!

Kim57 · 06-01-2016, 08:25 AM
