I keep my garage sunny, and 72° all winter, so I offered to get it painted up for him. So far I have just had to do a little fine tuning on the cab, and have body worked the doors. I now have everything in final primer, and have the inside of the cab painted.  The plan for this evening is to get the cab masked up, and get everything painted! |
I think Jayson has done a little more than "fine tune" the cab. I had the passenger side rocker a little high in the back and he fixed that with some strategic surgery. Whoever gets this truck will have a nice one on their hands. Yes, the plan is to sell this one to fund the "80s Parts Truck Build" more to follow on that one.
While the 78 cab and doors are up north for a face-lift, I've been working on ditching the 2-link idea and am piecing together a 4-Link that I've been working on with a young man out in Washington (Matt). I will post his information when I post pics later tonight or maybe tomorrow on that progress. Here's a couple teaser pics.
Pictures:
1. 4-Link Axle Bracket. Robust stuff. Not tacked in nor straight
2. Bolt-on 4-Link Bracket
