A couple more pics. I forgot to mention in the last post that I think I broke my distributor cab during the cab removal.

These things happen I guess. Removing the cab was rough going. Only 1 of the 4 cab mount bolts still had enough of it's original shape to turn it. The front 2 didn't really matter---as soon as I started lifting up the sheet metal just came right apart due to the advanced rust. The passenger side rear cab mount--well let's just say there is a little piece of floor still on the frame around that one. Fun for later. Major rust really complicates things.
