I've been back at it. The paint on the cab had problems due to low flow out of the gun. Way too much orange peel. So I wet sanded it down and the primer showed through. I'm going to get it prepped again and respray after priming the doors and fenders. Will spray them all at once. Hopefully next weekend.



Fenders fit pretty well. I need to do some work on the driver's side cowl to get the radius to match the fender.

Everything fits around the motor. I was surprised how low it sits in relation to the firewall and radiator.

Round two of painting today. I'm much happier with how the cab came out.

Took care of the bed and rear fenders. Trying to get all of the parts done with paint before we get full gross humidity for the rest of the summer.






Also started planning out the wiring and hope to tackle it this week.

Moving right along and looking good . Newer style box I am assuming you have test fit everything as I believe the fenders are mounted higher and won't meet the running boards .

Yep. I bought the chassis with the box and running boards attached.

Fun times with wiring.

I installed the wiper motor and linkage last night. Today I started the wiring, spending most of my time running the front and rear harnesses through the firewall and running along the frame. Seems pretty straightforward so far.
