BIG Frame Swap UPDATE
I have finished plumbing the brakes and they work. Also I got the cab onto the frame today. I had to trim a little more than I wanted but I got it to fit.
Still need to weld 7" of c channel onto the back of the frame and mount the radiator and front bumper mounts. Also the truck is sitting about stock height.

By the end of the summer it might be able to move under it's own power again but not anywhere near road safe. It will probally sit for a couple of years until the body gets redone. I can fabricate with heavier metals and do mechanical work but can't do body work.

I to am sloowly getting the hang of it, but it's hard when I see my dad do it so easily, and does such a goo job that you can't tell the there was ever rust.
If you ever see my IH you'll be amazed that the cab corners were completly rusted out, you can't tell I don't even know where the tin ends now.
