once you get above a couple hundred volts or even 20 amps you need to use specific sized C.T.'s and P.T.'s. They make a style that has spring loaded jaws that you clamp around the wire you are trying to measure volts or amps on. That being said you need a number of other safety devices to...

Good looking rig! Have you taken either off road much? How do they compare in that regard?

About 6 months ago, I was picking up several items in OKC from GL. The fork lift driver was being less than helpful as he just dropped the whole crate on the tarmac instead of in my trailer. I was able to dismantle the crate as he had also broken it in several places. He did the same thing...

haha. Beerthirty!

MMM good trade! Nice set up truck.

You have probably already thought of most of what I would do. Clean, Strip, paint areas not easily accessed while the cab is off. Assuming those areas would need it of course. If the trans, transfer, brake MC etc need serviced now would be a good time with the old cab off. Check condition of...

I don't have any experience in this matter, but it may help your quest to describe what vehicle / cab your swapping and what condition it is currently in. As in, cab stripped of interior / gauges / electrical / roof(if any), etc etc. more details the better.

It might be good to mask off around the data plate to keep surrounding areas from losing paint. A gentle/diluted stripper might be a reasonable approach till you see how caustic it is on the etching, stamping, chemically plated, paint and metals.

Yes, perhaps a recap of what the final set up is and a review of how it now drives please.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. So tell us about your plans for the truck please>

Congratulations! Can't beat that price. Like to see it hooked to your trailer.

Prybars--I also learned to think ahead a bit. If you got something heavy you have to manhandle or use a prybar on it helps to set a corner on a short block of wood when you set it down. Just so you can get that prybar in position. I did the Alcan highway back in 92'. They were having the...

I can relate Rustystud. Just manhandling the rims around on the 9.00-20's is getting to be a chore. With tires, from flat on the ground, it takes me a lot to get them vertical so that I can roll them around. That long prybar can be very handy. I guess your a late night owl too.
