May '13 update:

I finally got the cab finished (?), at least the fab work is done and the cab is in the first coat of epoxy primer. After the epoxy has cured awhile Ill lightly sand it and apply the 2K primer----to the cab and the rest of the body.

The seats were kind of a pill to install. Since the seat belts are built in to the seats I wanted a heavy duty mount on the seats. I used some 2x4 square tubing. The seats had uneven mounting rails requiring a 4" higher mount on the inside of the seats. (probably woudnt suggest using these----but they do look good!!)

The engine is supposed to be done the first of June--but then it was supposed to be back two weeks ago too!!!

Next step is to do the last fitting of the doors, then remove them and sand and epoxy them. I have a punch list and a work schedule laid out (we'll see how that works). If all goes well with the project and my work schedule, I should have the truck in paint and the drive line installed and fitted by the end of october. That will leave me all winter to assemble, wet sand and buff, assemble the interior, wire etc. The bed wood and wheels and tires will be the last thing, prob. early next spring. Sure sounds like a good plan!!!
