American in Austria 83 Build

Wow, this is one beautiful build in a beautiful place! Good luck with the delivery! Hope all goes well. I do have a question about when you got the frame powder coated: did you take all the cab mounts and cross members off completely or was it still partially assembled? Thanks in advance. Joe

Thanks buddy. When I powder coated the frame I had all the cross members off except for the very rear cross member and I just used a piece of flat steal to keep the frame together in the front. But I used some nuts to raise the steal off the frame in order to coat as much as possible. When it was done I just taped off the area and painted the small bit of frame where the nuts were sitting on the frame. I kept all the cab mounts on. Probably would have been a good idea to knock the rivets off the cab mounts and shackle hangers to get everything powder coated and then bolted them back on. Next time
