I got the Cab & Bed off of the frame, will add pics later. Now the time consuming things start. Sandblasted all of the cups the cab mounts sit in and will be doing some other misc small parts today, AFTER THE COWBOYS GAME

Well, i've been collecting parts, so far i have received my drop spindles(powdercoated), manual steering box, u joint swapped steering shaft(no more rag joint), brake calipers(powdercoated), Calvert Racing 90/10 drag shocks, front and rear motor plates. I ordered tubular upper and lower control arms so they will be here by Saturday. I am in the process of boxing the part of the frame i wont be cutting off to back have the truck, i plan on having it fully boxed and sand blasted this weekend so i can start the front end assembly. I am working my way from front to back on the frame so the last thing done will be the back half. I will load pictures as i take them.

Well i got my manual gear box and my upgraded u joint steering shaft today(no more rag joint). too many tow problems with trying to go to a manual rack so this was my easier option.
