Since my last post I have neutralized any rust on the cab, hardtop, and hood. Took out any dents, sanded out any peeling paint, sanded them all, spot primed. The cab has been undercoated inside and out.

I spot primed the the bare metal areas with a high nap hot dog roller. the roller helped add texture. finish paint will be done once the truck is assembled on the chassis.

Bump for a progress update. Been a couple months...

I took off the old cab, hood and radiator. Cleaned and painted all the hard to reach places, replaced the rubber hoses on the back of the engine and replaced all the rubber mounts. My girl friend helped me install the new cab and fresh radiator. Next is re attached all the wiring, air lines and cables.

Moving A&H Recon. into the new shop and the weather have slowed the project, but there will be more progress soon.

are you building the box separate from scratch? Or building it from the frame/bed base up? or a ready made Mil box repurposed..?

or maybe this sort of concept?
