Into full body work mode. Here are some pictures. First I made a jig to roll the cab around. Basically a solid core door I had cut down to 36" x 70". Added heavy duty casters on each corner. Then built a 12" wall out of 2x4 on each short end and put a piece of 1/2" sheathing on it. Added a 2x6 cross brace between the wall on each side. Dropped the cab on it, it is made to fit under the rails under the step bottom. Works like a champ.

8 years ago I stripped the body to metal and it has been sitting inside with no primer. Good thing is I live in the desert and if things don't get wet they don't rust. I used a DA with 80 grit to knock off what surface stuff there was and shot it with etching primer. Also welded up some holes I had missed the first time around including one on top of the cab. Next step is to attack the cab corners and lower hinge pockets. Then get out the hammer and dolly and putty to take care of the gross dings.
