It'll be a short window - this truck will be headed up North once it's done, I'm shooting for 4th of July (which is close, yikes!). But I'll definitely ride down that way with the '71 if there's a decent meet.


Different note - I have been scratching my head over this for several days, but is it possible that the factory rear cab mounts are not in the same place from left to right? I've been making everything on this cab symmetric as I repair it, and the front mounts worked out to within about a 1/16" but the rear mounts are out by more like 1/2" ... which in the end doesn't matter since I have to build the mounts on the new frame, I'm just curious. I'm attempting to make the cab so it could go back on a factory frame, later.
