Dropped the tub on to the frame with Poser's John Deere tractor. Starting to look like a truck again.

Looking awesome! Cant wait to see this again in a few weeks

Hopefully soon. Poser has a full shop right now.
Wow......I've taken a few hours out of the last couple of days and read and then re-read this thread. Your truck is beautiful. The colour and the contrasting seat covers look super classy. Keep the updates coming, they help keep me motivated. Cheers, Ben

Struggled to get all of the bolt holes to line up. A lot of tightening, loosening, adjusting and re-tightening but finally got it done.

... really like the fasteners from Overland Metric. Went with cad plated on the frame and stainless on the body parts.

She's a beauty! I had the same issue with my 45 lid, gapping the doors was interesting..
If you don't mind my asking - where did you get the front cab mount and bolt?
Keep it up! Totally jealous!

The bolts came from eBay and the front cab mounts are original.
I bought two of the 40 polyurethane body mount kits by Energy Suspensions from Kurt at Cruiser Outfitters. It is spendy having to buy two for a 45 pickup. I made it more so by grinding off the SAE nuts on the plates and replacing them with M10 nuts. I liked the idea of everything being metric enough to cough up the money. I had the plates and some M10 bolts I bought on eBay cad plated with a bunch of other parts. The two original front cab clips were still in good shape after cleaning and plating, so I reused them. If I remember correctly, to use the Energy Suspension plates I would have had to trim them down a bit to fit inside the front supports. I didn't pursue this because the originals still looked good.
