Re: Sparky's 1978 Silverado Build "Addiction"

Today I worked on the cab in preparation for putting it on the frame.

Pictures:
1-2. Prepped a pair of bucket seat perches I bought from Jeff (1774btcrew). I drilled 1/2' holes in the mounting bases then plug welded the brackets to the floor. Prior to that I bolted the perches to the bucket seat then bolted the seat in place using one factory mounting point then marked the weld spot on the floor. YES, I forgot to do this before Jayson painted the cab!!!!
3. Inspiration is on the wall
4. Good shot of Jayson's handy work (paint job)
5. Undercoated some overspray. I used 3M 08883, Rubberized Undercoating Black. If I remember correctly, 08883 is for high temp areas? I need another can of undercoating to finish the job toward the back of the cab.

Well, I just noticed something......I guess I should have put my mufflers further down-stream!!! Would have made putting the cab mounting bolts in a little easier! Duh! Oh well.

Thanks Mike
