Ok so another rather productive day.
The bed is bobbed another 5" so now it is short be length so I can put a canopy on it eventually, the new cab is set on there and the front bed mounts are built and burned in.
Apparently the tan cab was a 2x cab... To make the trans fit the floor the heater box had to be removed so I could cut under it for the bellhousing to clear, well on this cab the tunnel is fawking ginormous so it barely had to be cut and there is about 2" of clearance between the top of the trans and the floor.. That was fawking SWEET to find.
With the body on and the front suspension ratchet strapped down a touch to put it back to the height it started at before the hacking began again and it is 74" to the top of the roof just what it was with no roof and a 3/4" body lift. It does have a 1/2" body lift right now to make the passenger seat a bit easier to mount but I'm really thinking about taking it out and just doing the extra work to the seat.
