The wiring harness in the truck is from a 2004 gmc van, and it already has the wiring for the third brake light. All I have to do is find the pigtail end and route it up the back of the cab.

Also, before the rain set in, I pulled the bed off the truck to make the cab swap easier.

The last picture I thought was cool, just having all the old truck stuff parked at the end of the driveway.

I never noticed that the cab you got was a 67! Very cool, glad you got it and are swaping it over. The third brake light will be slick and the 67 small window should give you a little more sheet metal to work with. I am not sure I have the guts to cut the top of the cab like that. How does the curve of the brake light and the cab curvature match? I might want to do that to the 67 C50 if it works out for you.
Never did get a date for a C10 party, just to many things in the way, I think Ill call Bruce and see if he can pick a date and we will just work around it.
We got my son in laws 68 cab on the 71 frame a week or so ago and getting the glass in now. He's getting pretty excited about his build too.
The 6.0 in my red 67 is so much nicer than the 350. I had a little accident with it though, a wheel fell off a shelf in the shop and dented the top of the tailgate. Oh well best of luck with your cab swap. Can't wait to see how you do on the the brake light install, should be a good complement to the rear tail lights. Whats next Cadillac head lights?
