Bolted on more easy stuff. Kind of getting ahead of myself, but it keeps the build moving forward.

Nice work

Final body work touch ups and sanding happening now.

Sound deadening is sprayed. Will do the heat barrier tomorrow evening. Then it's finally body work and paint.

Thanks man. There's nothing to it......just do it. I met my weekend goal. Cab and bed are back on the frame.

3 coats down for the bottom of the cab and bed. Now onto the frame.

Flipped the frame and did the last welds. Then wire wheeled it. Pretty much it's ready for paint. It's not perfect, but it doesn't need to be. It's amazing how much more crud was removed. The next step is to get up early for good painting...

Thanks man. Got the frame stripped down and getting it ready for paint. The plan is to get the frame and bottom side of the tub and bed painted. Then reassemble by Sunday. Then I can do final body work and paint the top side of the body...

Heat barrier down. Bottom is ready for paint.

Painted the tailgate and the upper door roof pieces. Seam sealed the back of the tub and made a mess. It will get covered with Lizard Skin so it will hide the imperfections. Arms are tired from sanding......lol

Tub is getting smoother.......

Sign me up

Cleaned and painted the drip rail. It was an easy start to the day. Now it's back to the top and tub. I am hoping to have these pieces close to paint ready by the end of the weekend.

Here's my almost oops lol. Pretty good drone footage at the end. Enjoy.

driven it. 70,000 miles is just a few miles away and its only been a few years since the odometer over to 000000.00.......and looking back through pix...makes for just about 100k since 2014 when it returned to the road.

Stripped down the cab to finish up welding and start body work.

All the dash switches work as they should, so the dash harness is back on the table to get finished and make sure I have everything I need in place to wire the cluster up. I feel like I am getting close. I needed to do something other than...

When parked have someone turn the wheel and watch all the linkages and find the pop. Likely culprit is tie rod ends, or could also be the leaf springs where they attach at the shackles to the frame.

I figured out my taillight and hazard switch issues. I didn’t have the drive taillight plugged in, so it was an easy fix. The hazard switch was not working because I built the wiring system around a non-illuminated switch and later installed an...

Thanks again for that. Quick tip.......when I start to get burned out on a project or that phase of it. I jump around and work on other things for instant gratification. Helps keep the batteries charged. So tonight instead of sanding and...

Picked up a hum in the trans, think its from the routing of the hose since it wasn't there before I tied everything up for exhaust. I also shoved another 4 qts of atf down it's throat to get it to full @ temp. Have a few adjustements to make on...

My helpers showed up and we flipped the bed. Got the top side all primed and ready for filler and sanding........

Bottom is primed. I actually got it done. Hopefully I can get a helper or 2 and flip it tomorrow morning. Then prime the top side. It's happy hour.....:beer:

Finishing up the bottom of the bed. My goal is to have the bed in primer by the end of the weekend.

I built a receiver hitch point into the bumper and tied it back to the original bumper / crossmember. Should be plenty of beef.
