I haven't started on the cab rust yet, but I did get the last "big" chassis task done today, which was shock mounting. I used the stock trailing arm lower mount brackets, flipped side-to-side and forward. For the uppers, I used some shock tabs on the '50 parking brake bar which has the nice driveshaft bump that clears the rear end housing perfectly. The shocks are Monroe light truck, or maybe Jeep I don't recall but they have exactly 1/2" travel after full air and dump. Plus they were inexpensive. It was a great day for fabrication, my apprentice is a little bossy though, at least when she wasn't busy squirting everything (including me) with water.
