Re: “Castro” my new 72 build
3 partial cab braces installed, one was still good. I cut out the floor board for a high hump, went with a repop high hump which works fine. This was to give me a little more room to shim the trans upward to better align the driveshaft. I dressed all the welds underneath and scrubbed, scraped and wire wheeled for hours but finally got the bottom of the cab cleaned up and coated with Ospho. I installed the high hump temporarily, so I could weld the nuts to the floor pan.
