I picked up the cab today and started to get it back together. it went pretty good all the mounts are bolted back on and some of the dash is back together.

I have some photos in my gallery.
I will get some more uploaded from when I took it apart after I get them resized.

Instrument cluster is origonal I just took it apart and cleaned it up then repainted the needles.
I seem to have misplaced my cowl vent door I looked all over in the storage and don't see it.

Well I had to get the rad recored, I picked it up yesterday and got it back on.
I have been working on getting the wireing back together. I still have to clean and prep some of the parts for paint. I got the heater all sanded and painted today. I will take some more pics tomorrow.
It is a long slow process.

That cab looks great, I wish I would have had the room to do a frame off on my F1. I was wondering what that oil filter came off of it looks quite a bit larger than the stock unit. You might want to Be careful what you paint the inside of the heater with. I painted the inside of my Magic Air with the rust preventive paint and it made me half sick every morning going to work for almost a year. I think if I were going to do it again I might have it Powder Coated.

Wireing done

Well I changed all the wireing today, I had to pull the instrument cluster back out and also the wiper motor and the Light and Ign switches.
I bought a complete reproduction wiring harness. It actullay went pretty good. I will get some more Pics tomorrow.
So now I have it all wired the Generator and starter are all hooked up and I have the steering column back in and bolted down.
