Sounds like you got a good project there Mike. I like that '82 also! I have an '88 1ton dump that is my daily driver, 350tbi with TH400. Luckily at our house we have a paved drive to work on that is somewhat level, those pics were from my fathers friends place which is all gravel and dirt.
Finally got things rolling today on the cab. (I'm using the cab off the maroon parts truck and the gold Chevy cab for parts). Cut out a section of the drivers side floor along with rockers. Tacked in floor patch, cut door post to fit new piece and cut out for kick panel. My dad found some rust inhibitor stuff in a spray can that is supposed to be very good (it's a 2 part), and it came with a 18" wand. So I sprayed all up inside the door post to try and stem the rust. When the roof comes off for repair I'll spray the top half of the post.
