Thanks dudes! I appreciate yall following the progress and commenting!


To finish the cab I undercoated it and stuck the dash back in before the owner brought the frame over. We mounted the cab and he hauled it back to a shop at his friends place.




I masked the top of the dash and shot gloss clear over it, then wetsanded and buffed it before installing the dash panel with new stainless screws. I also installed the glove box and radio delete plate. The delete plate was originally held in with spring loaded clips and I was able to find new clips and paint them to match.








With the doors painted I bought new stainless hardware to bolt up the door components.








Sound deadener was applied to the inside of the door skin and the bolt on panel.
