Making progress, the truck is back in the garage and ready to finish the painting of the cab!

Making progress on the body work on the cab. Roof is sanded, hope to get the cowl area and door hinges sanded tomorrow. Next I will tackle the door opening and rear of the cab. If all goes as planned, I should be able to paint it next week.

I am looking for a fan and fan clutch that will fit the 4-53T. Mine has a solid fan drive with no clutch.

Thanks

The fun details, made a conformity sticker to replace the original. I had taken a good picture of it before removal. The sticker was originally printed on a paper label with a clear film over the top. Was able to get sticky project paper at Office Max and clear printable shipping label. I then recreated the sticker using Microsoft Paint, printed it and then cut the clear to fit with the required overlap. It turned out really good. The first picture is the original and the bottom picture is my re-creation.

More progress. Got the Air Conditioning finished up. Made new hoses that connected the compressor output to the high side and the suction to the low side. Serviced with oil charge, and 4 cans of 134A. Presto, we have cold cold air blowing out the dash vents. Moving the temp control allows us to blend the temp as advertised. Next we installed the rain gutters over the left and right doors.
