some guys turn down the brackets at that explanation, even though I offer to help set up. I understand, they think they are buying done parts. there is no tab A/slot B with the prewar stuff though haha.

Thanks Joedoh. I hear ya on the brackets. With the ones I got, everything I read and was told, was that they are ready to bolt on and go. The instructions tell you what holes on the frame to bolt it to, how to place them, etc. Oh well, I have it worked out now anyway.
I'm hoping to get some more progress done on it this weekend. I need to get the rear bumper finished, and maybe I can get the door latches and glass in. I'm supposed to have my seat upholstery delivered tomorrow (if the tracking number doesn't lie to me), so I might tackle the seat upholstery too. I got the insurance on it today, so maybe next week I can go to the tag office and get it tagged. I got a pretty decent 57 tag, so I'll have it registered to the truck.
