Getting the cab on was such a great feeling for me. It felt like it was actually turning into a truck.


Glad to see it coming along!

When things start to go together for the final time, it's a great time. Means your nearing the finish line. Looks like you have the main wiring harness in the cab, which is the most time consuming task. The light hook ups go fast. Your going to have a good looking truck when it's finished to a point that you may not want to take if 4-wheeling. Which I hope is not the case. These trucks should be driver and enjoyed.

I like how you color matched the overhead console, looks good. I am kind of glad mine is staying black though, a little less work for me. And I scored a 1967 Rear View mirror that mount to the cab and holds the visors so no attachment to the windshield!

It’s looking really good Jim. When it gets a little nicer and I pull the bike out I’ll have to make a run out and put my own eyes on it.
